I submitted my DTV application at Thai consulate Dubai with all documents including a bank statement (6 months) and closing balance certificate. I got a request for uploading additional documents which also says "Financial evidence: an amount of no less than 500,000 THB (e.g., bank statements for the last three months, sponsor letter) (The other bank statement to support for 3 months as well.)". I am not sure what do they mean by "other bank statement" since I only have 1 bank account and already uploaded the statement. Can you someone please help or share a similar experience ?
IDP international driving license / insurance question.
I'm a regular visitor to Sakon Nakhon and have a couple of people who kindly let me use their cars when I visit. I have an IDP with my full British driving license but am unsure if the owners insurance will cover me for the odd days that I borrow a car.
Later this year I'm moving to Thailand under a DTV visa an I'll probably take the Thai driving test as well to be sure.
Hi, with regard to marriage registration.....I have the affidavit and certified copy of my passport from the Canadian embassy and I know we need to go to a department of consular affairs to register the marriage. Questions:
1. Do we both need to go together or can just one of us go?
2. Does it matter which office we go to? Normally we are in Bangkok, but we will be in Chumphon next week (where we will get married). My wife's ID card shows Chumphon but she lives in Bangkok
I'm returning to Canada on the 22nd and I could book an appointment for the 21st in the Bangkok office, but it wouldn't be convenient for my wife to attend (hence question 1)
Hi, for the yearly extension of non imm o visa based on marriage it is possible instead of the thai bank deposit to give a certified letter from the embassy that shows my salary? Thanks.
