I'm being asked to send my original passport with FedEx to Thai Customs to clear my freight (our belongings to move here). I've already emailed a clear photo of the ID page and offered to get a certified copy (although not sure how here). They insist on original and will return within 3 days. Is it safe? Anyone done it?

Thank you 🙏🏼 greatly appreciate

Now I know this question has been asked to death but I need to know the quickest and simplest way to get a non-O immigrant retirement visa as I am sending a shipment of belongings to Thailand from Australia and need the retirement visa approved to receive the Cube container from Leam Chabang. I was hoping to come in visa exempt, apply for 90 day non-O immigrant visa, then open bank account and transfer the 800,000 baht. If my goods arrive before my visa I may be in trouble. I need to have Non-Immigrant visa valid for one year to provide for customs.

Someone has mentioned applying for a non-O immigrant visa here in Australia through the Thai Embassy. Is that my best option to come into Thailand with?
