Looking for some information: Since Trump put down the “ no visa “ mandate in January does anyone know what happens to people that were approved before that happened but hadn’t had their embassy interview yet? I’m thinking one of three things might happen;

1. You get the visa and can go to the USA because you were already appointed and the mandate affects people that had not been approved before the mandate

or

2. You get approved for the visa but cannot immigrate until the mandate is lifted

or

3. You are denied and it’s just too bad so sad you’re stuck like chuck. And that sucks. All the time and money wasted.

I haven’t heard about what’s happened to anyone in this process and it would be great if NVC would put out info on the possibilities. The limbo is very frustrating. I’ve heard they go on a case by case basis but more basic info would be helpful.

Has anyone been refused entry with a e-visa ( tourist)? I ask because when applying the embassy doesn’t look at your passport record. Immigration and embassies don’t seem to be connected. Or are they?

hi - my local amphur has many requirements for obtaining the yellow book. Some of them requires a trip to my embassy in Bangkok to get my passport verified! Other requires involving a certified translater! Can't be bothered with that. I see here several get it easily. My question is : do I have to use the local amphur or can I use another? Thank you.

Something that should have been so simple of turning into a nightmare, spent all afternoon at Jomtien Immigration trying to get residency certificate

Got there and paperwork wrong as I had left Thailand for a few days during Songkran so TM30 date didn't match

Contacted the managing agent of condo who did a new one and went back, they said this isn't ok as it's just an online one, condo agent says it is correct, anyone know?

Example below of what condo agent sent (just a web sample)

Tm30 confusion. I have a new passeport and immigration told me i have to do a new Tm30. I tell my landlord, she does it through the website [members only]/ However, she entered the wrong address... Immigration said this time it's ok, but she has to do it correctly for next time. My question is, how can i know that the Tm30 is correctly done and how can i have that piece of paper that you normally have in your passeport, if it's my landlord that does it online ? Thank you

Question. Sorry if it’s overly asked.

For retirement visa extensions,

the Thai government website states three ways to show Financial Proof regarding getting an extension. I’m on year three now so want to use the 65k monthly income method.

Here’s the question; for the Bank Deposit method, it clearly states 800k baht must be verified by Thai bank book and verified bank letter

For the monthly income method, it says nothing about Thai bank. Only verified income letter from embassy, or 12 months proof of income by bank statements showing over 65k baht monthly income.

Has anyone ever used foreigner bank statements to make this monthly income verification? Again, Bank Deposit method clearly says Thai bank, where Monthly Income method does not.

Bank Deposit

Monthly Income

Combination.

Thanks.
