Good afternoon all
Next month I will be lodging an TM7 application for one year extension of my O-A non immigrant me visa.
I'm good to go on the requirements except I visited Saraburi Immigration a couple of days ago and was told by an extremely helpful lady officer that my Aussie Government DVA pensions need to translated and certified by the Aussie Embassy in BKK. My pensions exceed the 65k thb monthly requirement.
Does anyone know how to go about this?
I can download from the MyGov website and printout of my pensions which shows clearly all the indicators they come from a Government website. As I am in Saraburi its quite a haul to get to BKK... could I email the document as an attachment? Could I have it translated locally I have a translator I use.. and send original plus translation to the embassy.... or am I obliged to front personally? In which case Does anyone know how long I should plan on staying in BKK to do so?
Hopefully someone can help guide me through this.
Thanks you.
