@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

. Not the cheapest option but after reading horror stories about scams, I’m happy with them

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

I had a letter from bumrungrad hospital saying that I had to visit my doctor every 3 months with the next appointment on date x. My agent who handled my paperwork previously gave me the description in thai which i just forwarded to the hospitals expat department. Together with proof of funds, and income sources i uploaded the maximum file size allowed lol. I thought the more documents the better. That’s what i fid in the past even for tourist visa. Overwhelming them with papers and they never asked for more. I was still happy to have the agent collecing all documents and submitting them to the correct place. Expensive but more convenient. Could have done it alone for cheap, but the information i found was not always consistent and a bit confusing
