they just lowered it back to 30 days for some of the European countries. I will travel back to Thailand in a couple of weeks and now I need to apply for a visa again. I didn’t need any visa when I went there ****
and stayed there until ****
. So the visa rules seems to change really quickly.

@Anna ********
actually she is..im out traveling living a life of leisure. Retired at 43..what can you say for yourself. Nothing not a damn thing. You're miserable in life thats why you sit on FB and spew your misery on peopleDoug ********
LoL Anna brodley commented on a post the other day stating was easy to get a bank account with correct visa and paperwork but it simply isn't true fr everyone,everywhere. So I pointed it out to the OP as didn't want them thinking it would be easy.
I think she has good intentions but the waiting time is relevant as sine people many think too long mean they get rejected but also just want an idea. Oh well

@Doug *******
She's right. It's easy to get a visa when you have the right paperwork. I got a non-O for myself and my wife without an agent simply by giving them the paperwork they asked for. It took 5 days. I've had the same experience in Cambodia, China, and Vietnam. When you have the right paperwork they have no reason nor motive to reject you.Doug ********
@Trayn ****
I had them 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄......or no bank would open account....lol.....don't reply again as you will be ignoredDoug ********
@Trayn ****
you are just a fool....I try to answer sensible ...go read everything again. Get over your self and admit you are wrong😂😂😂😂😂😂Trayn *****
@Doug *******
Try having the right documentsDoug ********
@Trayn ****
funny had to try four banks to get an account yet one immigration office gave me my visa in 15 minutesTrayn *****
@Doug *******
You realize it's harder to get a visa than a bank account, right? Ask for basic intellect, not strength.Doug ********
Trayn Nor. whatever... I can't be bothered ..read my post. I said about getting a bank account..NOT. A visa..give me strength
Anna *********
@Ash *********
excuse me why does that make me the moron🍆
Ash **********
@Anna ********
because you didn't answer his question and told him that it didn't matter. It might not matter to you lady, but that doesn't mean it doesn't matter to someone else.Your post was pointless and pathetic and that makes you a moron.
Understand now?
Ocu ****
@Ben ******
her reply was dreadfully useless but you had to throw on your simp cape.Ben *******
@Ocu ***
just about as senseless and useless as your two cents that im most certain nobody asked you for so how about you just pipe down dik neckBen *******
@Ash *********
hahaha wow you absolutely get it. You're right on point because I have a condo in Pattaya im paying *****
a month for and im currently on week 3 in Malaysia paying rent in a hotel at the same time so things are extremely expensive for me right now. Thats why I ask the simple questionBen *******
@Anna ********
oh no..it was extremely rude common twatBen *******
@Ash *********
nailed it! Right on the moneyOcu ****
@Ash *********
if Anna is a top contributor here, it shows that this Facebook group is pretty uselessAnna *********
You too 😘
Ash **********
@Anna ********
So, in your warped world, people can only directly answer or ask things specifically related to a post and, even though the length of time an application might take someone could be important to people waiting for this visa they are not allowed (according to you) to ask a person who has applied for the visa .?Jeez, I would hate to be in your head....just fk off.
Anna *********
@Ash *********
you might think my comment stupid but at least it wasn’t rude!The question was completely irrelevant to the original post
Anna *********
@Ben ******
what difference does that make . Surely a rejection is a rejection
Wannikea *********
@Anna ********
sometimes a document request is made and a rejection might come after that, leading to a possible clue.
David ********
It says on your profile youre from Bangkok...
Candace *********
and details?
Arianna *********
What is the reason ?
Anna *********
@Arianna ********
they don’t give one Usually rejection is based on invalid information provided
Garrett ***********
@Anna ********
You can ask themAnna *********
@Garrett **********
I’m not sure about that either 😊Garrett ***********
@Anna ********
I guess you'd know more than me...Anna *********
@Garrett **********
