Thanks for this update. I hope you have a Thai friend who can help with translation. Or with so many Thai language students in the group, there must be one, who is willing to help out. Thanks in advance.

Been trying to understand the part 4.3 in this document; I’m I wrong to interpret that to mean that 800 000 banked bath must indeed have been seasoned for 3 months before application, despite knowledgeable people in this group telling me this rule changed one year ago?

I should probably manage to have it translated, but frankly it is unsettling that SP immigration operate at this level of service.

Btw, I want to thank those who replied to my previous topic, as I didn’t get the chance before it was closed ❤
