Good information and very interesting in that we did all this through the Ubon office and no one ever asked about funds other than the day we applied. They also gave back all the photos except for one in front of the house and one inside. But that seems to be the norm. Consistently inconsistent.

Glad it went well for you!

Yes. I got a small package from Boston in only 10 days. Sent USPS. I should also say, that was to the village. So probably added a day or two.

I just checked my receipt again to be sure. I paid $25 on 5 January this year. But it was a single page document with one stamp. No idea if that matters or not 🤷🏻‍♂️

@Ma**

$25 is all I paid.

If you cannot get to them you can try this:



I have used them. It’s fast, effective and I had no issue with the documents notarized.

You make an account, upload docs, do an interview and then they send you your stuff all notarized and good to go.

Hahahaha well said tough guy. Thanks for that constructive input. You seem fun.

If I had to guess...I think it’s an attempt to excavate more old single people out of Thailand. You would be surprised how many are living pension deposit to pension deposit and wouldn’t/couldn’t meet that requirement.

@J**

good luck my man!

Joe I think you are screwed if you cannot extend they way you are in the country right now. It won’t even be a matter of if the other land borders open. You hit the nail on the head with the biggest issue, I seriously don’t think they are going to accept tourists any time soon. Of course, I don’t know anything and am guessing but if I had to bet my money is on not opening up to anything other than the categories recently announced for a while.
