Can't review pdf I sent in to thai consulate I come statement . They just canceled last 80 usd visa denied passport # was off but I was sure I checked several times . Now I can't view my documents it just sits and spins. You can't put each bank statement in crazy I made a scanned pdf I can't see its in there or not now I paid another 80 . The site is not good. If u can't review your files how can they charge you . Crazy

Thailand doesn't do simple. Everywhere you will meet overmanning; over complication; over fussiness as everyone is scared to make a decision + their IT department can't cope with English.

Sorry, but I find their system bulletproof if you are honest and a genuine retirement applicant and also for extensions. It’s all a part of integrating with Thais and not about wanting to be another nationality encroaching on their Culture. Respect the same as you expect in your country.

Why do you want to review your documents on the site? You surely have a copy of what you uploaded?

just in case you spelled everything you typed into the application, as bad as you write here, then no wonder your "lication" got denied 😄 You better use a visa-agent in the USA to do this application for you, they will guarantee success unless you do not fulfill the requirements for the 90-days Non-Imm-O Retirement Visa

if you want to supply multiple documents for any of the options such as bank statements you need to combine them into a single pdf before uploading

You got further than I did! I submitted the application, got to the payment, then it jumped to payment pending status without my actually paying. Now I can't get back to the page where I would submit payment. So it's sitting there and I'm starting over.

I couldn't get to a place where I could pay again. It was as is if I already paid, but I hadn't. It was sitting in limbo. Eventually it'll probably catch up and I'll just cancel it, as I submitted another.

have not seen a way to cancel once pnt is made if you got no receipt in the email or you press show all applications and it doesn't say reviewing documents then you can start over .

are you using a PC or your phone? When I applied I had many problems with the site on my phone, no problems using a computer.

I was using a tablet. I left that application as is and submitted a new one. This one allowed me to actually submit payment and is currently in the "processing"phase. Hopefully no more issues!

oh, ok. I think you can enter on tourist visa and convert in country but you would need a bank account set up once there.

You can only upload one document per section so you have to merge 3 PDF files to create one. If ypu've paid you cannot edit it.
