Im trying to apply for a family 0 non immigrant visa online but there is only one drop down box online for long stay which at the end requires all the supporting documents unessissary for the family 0 visa. Doesnt ask for supporting documents of child or marriage its all the long stay documents which i dont have. Any help on this? Tried calling emailing embassy absolute no reply cheers

There is only so much people can take and this making people jump through hoops to be with their families is just absurd and exposes the Thai mentality fof all to see, no wonder people are voting with their feet Thailand is well and throughly finished , the moratorium on household debt has been extended till Dec, the s**t is going to hit the fan,get your cash our there might be a run on the banks!

. What browser are you using? I have seen reports from other UK applicants that Chrome is the most compatible. Try that first and see how you go.
