Creating a pdf document with jpg images for uploading to the visa website using google docs.

This is how I get my bank statements or passport in to a single pdf file to upload as one document. (for free)

I would discourage anyone from using the 'free online' pdf tools to do this.

Google is bad enough with your private data but at least it's a known website.

Would you honestly trust your bank or passport details to a completely random website?

Top tip, delete the document from google once you have downloaded it.

There seems to be a lot of profiles on many Thailand tourist and expat pages and groups asking for pictures of visa exemption stamps, I am not sure if there is anything sinister happening, but I would be interested in knowing why anyone would need a picture of the visa.

Update:

I appreciate everyone’s sense of humor. Privacy is an illusion-check. Everything changes daily, so don’t stress about it-check. เข้าใจแล้วครับ

In response to a couple of comments:

-If it’s only for tourists that seems ineffective and arbitrary. If it were for everyone my privacy concerns would be mitigated.

-I’m going primarily to teach English, but the referal agency I got my TEFL certificate through has basically suggested I wait or choose somewhere else. So... feels like maybe I should put a pin in it for 12 months and check back. Lol

Original post:

Anyone heard about this? If it were really about covid why is it only tourists? I promise I’m not a conspiracy theorist but more concerned about privacy... thoughts?

People didn't believe that you could cancel a UK passport based on few details now heres the proof. I know this is not Thai visa related but fellow Brits be careful of people that out there with your passport details. If your employer has a British accent I guess its enough for them to cancel your passport. Again Thank you UK Government for our Lax security.

Edit -​ I want to thank Robert Lagas who helped me throughout this situation and gave me a peace of mind when my own government couldnt.
