@Heath *******

it's been reported to be a 2-hour wait in Bangkok once you get the ticket so it's an interesting waste of time and effort.... Basically half a day ruined.

In Phuket they might even be a drive-thru when it takes 5 minutes so I don't know why they can't improve it....

@Nick ***********

are you sure about that wasn't only the confirmation letter of that you have sent it it takes a few days normally....

@Ivan ***********

as I said it seems that work related visas need to be activated and often abroad or by returning by crossing the border inwards. But it's not always the case.

Forest tourist visas I never heard that it needs to be activated in some special way.

Adnan Khairi all mobile phones when we take pictures give a file names that are in order....

So you are quacking up the wrong tree.

@Shandy *******

I'm sure if you take screenshots and create a document Aviv or 64 pages and then you make a PDF it's going to be too big and we're going to refuse to take the PDF....

@Vitaly *******

I'm not sure why you need to make it personal?

@Charles *********

yes I am but it can still be quite difficult to do these things. Especially since we do these things on mobile phones these days.

How normal people are supposed to be able to figure out how to do this that's the problem right?

@Wayne ********

that would being incredible is stupid design.

Is it really so that you cannot upload several attachments?

Shouldn't there be possibility to list all the uploaded documents and see what they have available?

They probably think everyone has to be a web graphic developer :-D

I don't know. Since it's such a substantial amount of money I don't understand why they cannot be a bit more nice?

I mean they could provide a checklist with what documents are okay and provide slots to upload the missing documents.

But there refusal statements are quite sweeping I think.

This is in contrast to doing one year extensions for retirement reasons in Thailand where they review it in person and almost always require more documents but it's clear what they need.

@Ben *******

people laugh at concept that seems absurd to them and doesn't make sense.

I don't know what (tourists) visas you need to "activate" in any country. When you have a tourist visa you typically have it... There's no activation.

I do believe that some countries have worked for mates and work visa that you might have to leave and come back. I don't think that's the case in Thailand?

In USA the work permit Visa you actually need to go or used to have to go abroad to consulate abroad to actually get the visa in the passport. I don't know if it's still the same rules but it used to be those rules in 2000 to 2006...
