Oh, ok. Hope you get it solved somehow.

This was roughly a year ago. They never mentioned anything about a volunteer visa. How about you? This whole story has me kinda spellbound :)
Thomas ********************
As I've said a few times, I was contact with them. Mainly out of curiosity. They seemed serious enough. Asked all the right questions and concluded they didn't have anything for me.

*shudders :)

Did you talk to your embassy?

(This is continued from another thread :) )
Thomas ********************
Back when I researched this, I never saw any mention of a letter from immigration. It's not really the problem they're addressing. The embassy letter shows you are who your passport says. Certified by your country(!) Issues they're worried about is like international fraud and such.

Again, you need one from the embassy (sort of confirming you are who your passport says.)

My experience from Bangkok Bank, EmQuartier: I hand the guy my passport and as I'm sitting down and messing around my dunnage, he suspiciously goes "hmm, Denmark..." I pull out the embassy letter and say "also have this from my embassy" and he lights up like a xmas tree and goes right ahead. I was on a tourist visa at the time. But I don't think he even checked that.

A letter "from immigration"? What kind of letter?

What you need is a "letter of reference" from your embassy (which can just be a certified copy of your passport.)
Thomas ********************
I'm going to go right ahead and steal that expression 😅 Thanks!
Thomas ********************
Indeed! And let us know what you find out and which office it was :)

500,000 baht is the cheapest one. You can start the process here

If you want to get it done before Sep 26, I'd advise getting started right soon.
