Regarding two bank accounts:

My bank separated my current and fixed deposit accounts into two accounts, making it appear as though my funds were held in two different banks.

When applying for DTV, I wrote a letter explaining that they were held in the same bank, but the consulate simply ignored it.

They didn't look at the total amount; they needed to be in the same account to meet their requirements. So, I transferred the money from my fixed deposit to my current account, and that was approved.

If you also have two accounts, I recommend combining your funds.

Can you help or advise me on how to get a 90 day visa for Nov. - Feb. Or even a one year visa as l intend on coming back late next year. I'm in Los Angeles California and I'm having no luck with the Thailand Consulate here in L.A.

Thanks for the advice on this group site.

Picked up our passport and visa at the Thai consulate in Vientiane. No problem as long as you make an appointment when filing the application.

If taking a cab or tuk tuk to the consulate, suggest you make a copy a map to get there to show the driver.

They go in numerical order for accepting applications and for issuing the visas so if you have number 250 in the queue don't go rushing back to pick up your visa at 1:30 in the afternoon.

You have to wait until your number comes up.

Hey everybody! I'm seeking some tips & advice. Since September I've stayed in Thailand for 2 months on arrival, then did tourist visa twice (60+30days) in KL. I'd like to do one more visa run before travelling back to Europe. Bali, even Australia came to my mind, but most importantly I'd like to make sure that my destination would be a third time visa applier-friendly one✌️. Thank you in advance for all suggestions:)
