How quickly can a visa application be approved in Brazil for Thailand?
Approved in Brazil 🇧🇷
I applied from Brazil on August 4th. They requested one additional document on 5th, and my application was approved today, August 6th.
Just two days for approval in Brazil! 🥳

Thanks everyone for relevant comments. Obviously is was simply another harassment tactic the Thailand’s Privilege foists upon its lifetime members.
This morning Thailand Elite called him to make an appointment to receive his new visa on August 17th.

Seems like this would be the time to hire a well seasoned law firm to sort it out.

Friend, if he doesn't mind throwing a bit more money at it, Siam Legal has sorted me well on matters from immigration, employment and tax to date
David ******
even 50 or more years ago some proof of birth would have to have been submitted to get a british passport as far as I am aware. I dare say I will be corrected if I am wrong
Karl *****
Can't he get a copy of the birth certificate?
Dave ********
Let me see. Should I ask for advice from the anonymous, the insane, the deranged, the plain weird, the alcoholics and the wind-up trolls on various social media platforms. Or should I pop along to a lawyer who specialises in these matters? I know I know. It's a close call ....

Dave Cooper it seems you've proved your point in your demonstration

That’s not being nasty. That is a case in point
David **********
You must be one of those old Thai Visa members. Just looking for a start point. Some actual decent advise can be had if you have an open mind.
Phil *******
Question for lawyer and embassy, not Facebook.
Juanda ****
maybe try to get a certifications of origin from UK institutions.
Thailand just want a confirmed identity to make sure, you say who you are.
or sometimes, it was just an added requirement what they though of.
Or Try another customer services to renew the visa.

Why does He not have His birth certificate from His original birth Country? He should be able to get a new birth certificate from his original birth Country and submit that with His British passport.
David ******
Steven L. Daugherty Some countries years ago did not have birth registry.
Steven ***************
David Cook He must have had something to get his original passport that he turned in to get the British one. But only he knows.
Liam *********
Steven L. Daugherty Of course he must have had something, but in a country that (according to the info we have) did not routinely issue birth certificates when he was born, that something was apparently not a birth certificate, which is what he now needs.

The original Thailand Privilege scheme had lifetime validity and was pretty generous with free golf green fees, massages etc. Some friends of mine got that around 2004 or so.
I’m pretty sure that if your friend still has his passport from the same country as when they accepted his application, there’s no way they can terminate the membership.
Just ask him to get a good lawyer and contact their office.

Liza ********
in addition to an attorney I suggest he explore with the British Embassy getting access to his original paperwork when he first obtained his UK Passport

Liza Murphy that was 50 years ago
David ******
ArticulateChipmunk5959 records go back a lot further than that. Embassy and consular records go back as far as 1790-1815
Liza ********
ArticulateChipmunk5959 if you don't ask you will not know if information is possible or not....... especially as the submission gained citizenship/passport as a result. And really you are not the OP - why disparage input that the OP asked for...... have a great day
Andy ********
The phrase "in good faith" obviously doesn't translate well

Andy Walker especially here!
Stuart *********
Not sure anyone on here is going to be able to advise. Perhaps a lawyer could help. Sounds a really strange instance.
Paul ********
Yes it goes. Oddly enough I was born in a 3rd world country, also 75 years ago. It was a colony back then. And birth certificates were issued.
Strange that he doesn’t identify this back water hole. There must be a reason I reckon.
He is unable to renew this special visa but he had sufficient documentation to secure one initially.

@Stuart ********
It’s more common than you might think. In the days before money laundering rules, systems were much more accommodating of people from countries without birth paperwork in past eras (and there were also more of those people, they’re ageing out now).Stuart *********
Perhaps. Just not seen any instance of this in the Privilege visa arena. Perhaps they don’t know about stuff from 75 years ago hence why a lawyer might be able to advise.
Floyd ******
And says, he cannot produce a passport, he doesn't have a passport??
David ******
@Floyd *****
yes he does learn to read and comprehend.Floyd ******
David Cook i want to thank you for your lessons now. It's got a passport, and they say, what you requires either a bath.Passport, who are birth certificate, guys room?The passport that he has is not valid
Nelson ******
@Floyd *****
try Gboard keyboard it corrects most spelling and grammar for youFloyd ******
Sorry, I don't type to well on this phone. An AI kind of messes things up
David ******
@Floyd *****
it does not say that, He has a British passport but cannot produce a certificate of birth.
Neil ********
@Floyd *****
you really struggle with reading! 🙄Floyd ******
And he has a passport, and that's all they say they need
David **********
They now, after more then two decades, want his country of origin passport or a nonexistent birth certificate
Michael *******
Perhaps try reading the post where it says that he turned in his original passport when issued with his British passport.
Paddy *****
Michael Purdy reading comprehension is not a strong point among members here. 😂
David **********
Has used his UK passport for more than 50 years. All good when he gave them a million Baht in 2024
David **********
2004. Sorry
Lynnette *******
So he's got British passport? Isn't that enough?
Charles ********
Lynnette Munoz it wss when he signed up...
David **********
I totally get what you saying but he was born at home in a shithole country and immigrated to the UK.
David **********
I think it is some kind of tactic to renege on the original contract. Of course he has a valid British passport for more than 50 years
Lynnette *******
David Barkdull you said they wanted to see passport.
Nelson ******
Young naturalisation in the UK back then granted a GB passport. I completely understand the OP. Only had to read his first post once.
Yo***
David Barkdull I can not understand what you meant. If I were born in UK, even I was a foreigner but just born there, can I have Uk passport??? just being born makes that country's passport?? yes, in USA, possible, but in most of countries including Thailand has nothing to do with being born in the country. If I am born in Thailand as foreigner, so I get Thai passport? it does not make sense at all of what they required. Uk is his official country of origin.
David **********
I actually said Thailand Privilege wants his passport from his country of origin or birth certificate. He has had valid British passports for more than 5 decades. It is another I think it’s a Thailand Elite scam to void out their lifetime membership.
Michael ********
I would contact a lawyer, i think siam legal offer free consultations. Looks like privilege office trying to get out of there deal. 99% of people on here wont have even heard of the lifetime elite
Gordon ********
Michael Dawson Yet we got a valid argument why not to apply for it at the same time...
