it arrived. But it didn’t come from immigration, they wouldn’t know the details in this letter. The department of foreign affairs titled it certificate of nationality and includes evidence that i am registered as a swiss abroad

for every small change my local bangkok bank branch wants me to visit the office where i opened the account. Like when i lost my card i had to travel to pakchong. Would be easier to just use the bank across the street instead of a multiple hour taxi ride

@Paulie *******

it needs to come from the swiss embassy in Bangkok, not immigration 🙏

@Sefton *******

thanks. I just called the swiss embassy and they said that they don’t know either. They said it might be a passport copy signed by the embassy but if I can get the bank to explain what it is, they will be happy to help me. If I find out, i will update this post as it might help others, too 🙏

That was already a known problem when they introduced the e-visa for tourists. glad my embassy picked up the phone to confirm. I never use my middle name but thai places like hospitals use it because it’s easy ro pronounce

Switzerland charged 13k or so. But I paid my former agent to help me with the documents before applying in my home country

I stay on dtv soft power medical treatment to recover from stroke

Switzerland. If you enter from the airport, i only remember to go through one thing. But quite a while ago since i entered

Phuket immigration told me 6 years ago that I’m too early to extend and i should come again in a week. I told them that i will be traveling and last time struggled together with a taxi driver to find the Nakhon ratchasima immigration office. It wasn’t a lie and i got the stamp. They’re just human and you can politely ask for an exception. While customs and immigration is the same in some countries, here it’s not and you can visit any immigration office without good to a border. I found that offices near tourist destinations have more English speaking staff
