Or block their accounts. Never see them again. Eventually they'll wonder why the group is so quiet.

If your employer doesn't allow you to work in Thailand, you're not working in Thailand. Both DTV and LTR require employer permission.

Thailand will only know about your travel to Thailand. The passport itself only contains information about your identity. Thailand will have no idea about other travel history. That's not the case for other countries, where there is a lot more sharing of passport data. Thailand I think is part of an ASEAN agreement to share data about ASEAN passport holders. The Migration 5 or 5 Eyes do more intrusive data sharing.

I don't disagree. But for those being taken aside, some will be wrong 'uns. Who goes on holiday not knowing when they go back to the day job?

You don't always know the full details of these "first hand reports". A fair few are economical with the actualite, some are just made up for effect. Yes, there is much scare mongering.

That's how it is for anyone on a through ticket.

Documents and biometrics are done at the same time before the visa is granted.

@Graham *****

Biometrics can only be done in person.

Need one in Bangkok. She will have to travel to the VFS office for biometrics. All the agent is doing is essentially checking the paperwork is in order. Personally, I would let your girlfriend find and select an agent herself.

I agree. Red Flag.
