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.

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.

@Barry ******

agents have the experience to know if an application is going to get approved. It has nothing do do with how many applications are rejected on average or daily or any circumstance. You go for an agent with recommendations. And your agent will advise you on if your application will pass or fail.
