it’s usually one or the other, Billy. Who is telling you this, home office or an agent? I know it’s due to double of the yearly earnings side but, it shouldn’t have yet. The whole process is a bit of a racket. Using an agent will help your cause. In the space of 3 months, I had 2 refusals, doing it myself and then a pass, using the agent. But I used all the same information on all 3 attempts. The decision makers are outsourced to India… The agents know what those Qunts are looking for 🤷‍♂️ Someone on here should be able to recommend a good agent for the location you are… I take it Pattaya. I heard there was a good agent on soi 6… not joking 🤣🤣🤣

previous rejections do not seem to be an issue. I made three applications within the same month, two rejected and the final approved. It’s a bit of a racket and they deny at will. I agree with the suggestion of using an agent. I used one on the third attempt and got an approval.

@Michael *******

perhaps the rules changed. Because when I first enquired, I wanted to go that route. My applications were 2021.

Tell her family to put her name on their property or show evidence that she owns property. If she has a car in her name, show the vehicle registration book. If she has a job, show evidence of that. If she has elderly parents or children, make sure to include their IDs and an explanation. She needs to show she will return, as you mentioned. I had the same issue and got 2 denials with

in the space of a month and then used an agent, within that same month and got approved. It’s a bit of a racket, in my opinion.

@Michael *******

that’s not applicable for the U.K.

@Lennart *********

same for me, with German passports

@Michael *******

you’re in the right place. Plenty of us have been through your experience. In Chiang Mai, where I went through it, I did not need a lawyer. I went with birth certificate, passport, baby and mum to the local court, to declare me as the father.

@Flo *****

it’s not just down to the bank, it’s also down to the bank branch. You can walk into a bangkok bank in one road and be denied and in the next road they will open your account.

What’s her name?

@Ryan *****

that’s also a requirement for “visitor” visa, to be a sponsor.
