DQ?

We just did this for my step-daughter. From the notification that the national visa center sent it to BKK until the appointment was about 6 weeks.

@Da***

exactly what I came here to say. Poser.

In 2015 I did the fiancé visa as well. Applied in May. Approved in August and in September we were in Hawaii together.

She’s a citizen now.

95,000 is INSANITY.

We did the first ones ourselves. Went to Laos for the 90 day to enter on and converted it. Wasn’t hard. But that depends on the office. We were in Ubon. Anywhere outside of BKK or Pattaya I would say do it yourself. The reason I say that is they make it exceedingly difficult in those locations. First renewal was BKK. Seven trips to CW to get it done.

To the point, 95,000 is huge money for a 1900 baht visa and a 1900 baht extension.

Apples and oranges but people that don’t even have the money and get fake bank letters only pay 25K (ish) for retirement extensions.

@J*

have I ever been to Thailand? Yeah. Started in 1997. Living here since 2019. Issan, BKK and now Pattaya.

What a ridiculous question.

Having one of those in a city is silly. In a farm. Ok. But I still will keep using my truck with AC.

I cannot imagine why any foreigner would be in one of these death traps.

It provides no advantage over a car. You’ll still be stuck in traffic, cannot maneuver around anything and now you get the bonus of eating all the diesel smog and sweating your balls off.

Just get a car.

I have an AIS eSIM and TMobile eSIM. It’s very easy to do and manipulate when traveling (meaning making the appropriate sim the primary)

2nd for virtual mailbox/ mail forwarding service.

Interesting. Like already said it was there last week but definitely gone now 🤔

A close friend just finished his and his situation is similar.

He had to show 24 months bank statements documenting the deposits for the entire period. So yes, as long as you can show the payment history.
