This page of your passport ( picture from google images, not mine). I believe their system tries to recognize what’s written there. Check for any errors in the later steps like missing middle names or spelling. This can make you lose money and visa. I had this with a tourist visa for my mom years ago. Use good quality scans and not blurry photos 🙏

Maybe you ha some chronic illness to treat in Thailand and apply for medical soft power like i did

I’m in a similar situation.
@THAI *****************************
went through all the paperwork with me. Not the cheapest solution, but after stroke, paperwork is almost impossible without help

I did the same with laos. Morning out, evening back. The only question at suvarnabhumi was the purpose of stay and i was fully prepared to show proof of my soft power but he didn’t want to see. It was a bit more expensive than a bus, but I don’t like long bus trips

Multiple voip providers in germany let you use a german landline number worldwide. I use one in combination with a FRITZ!Box router

Anonymous participant I got it when i was 43 years old (last yr 555). As long as you have the money, you’re fine. But di yourself a favor and have your realistic budget ready. Depending on your circumstances, military retirement may not be enough as a private health insurance is highly recommended and not cheap 🙏

Don’t you have a photo already and can buy a sim?

Talk to your doctor or his team who he calls nurse ( the counter in front of the doctor’s office). I received a signed letter stating regular treatment with the next few appointments listed

@Vinson ******
I drain nothing as I have insurance that covers more than i need

My doctor wrote a letter that I need medical treatment every 3 months with the next few appointment dates o have to be in the hospital. So I need my soft power activity even after DTV is finished
