Hi Guy's, what's with some of the mandatory questions when applying online for a 60 TV? How did you get round them?

8 . A confirmation letter from employer, School, Self-assessment, Pension statement - FOR WHAT!?

9 . Identity of the person inviting you to stay e.g. Thai ID card, Passport - NO ONE INVITING ME!!

10 . Applicant is required to upload his/her passport pages which contain all travel records for the past 12 months (1 year) since the last international trip - NOT BEEN ANYWHERE!!

11 . Applicant must apply for e-Visa via specific Embassy/Consulate conforming with his/her consular jurisdiction and residency. Applicant is required to upload document that can verify his/her current residency - PASSPORT AGAIN??

All done now, just unnecessary replication and over enthusiastic on detail for a TV. Not like Iโ€™m emigrating there ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ but this is Thailand.

8. I uploaded bank statement again as Iโ€™ve left my job to go travelling

9. Accommodation booking screen grab

10. I took a photo of empty passport page!

All seems OTT for a 60 TR but the above worked for me ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

8: say you work for yourself and take time off when you choose.

9: hotel booking confirmation or your own passport

10: Take picture of your last travel stamp and the next blank page

11: utility bill in your name or something like car insurance with your name and address on.

Hi
@Li**
, Question 8 - Proof of income is already asked for in the following question... 6 . Financial evidence, e.g. bank statements, proof of earnings, sponsorship letter --- Do I upload the same bank statement?
