Normal for Thai wife visa. Best just put the amount in an account and forget about it. Then it’s available to show immigration every year without worry regards any time periods etc.

What should I do if my hotel won't provide my TM30 form after a one-night stay in Thailand?

So where have you been staying during your time in pattaya? Obviously do not want immigration to know if a one day stay at a hotel is so important for your tm30.

What are the best strategies for obtaining a UK visa for a Thai fiancée after multiple refusals?

Pete **********

@Marcus *********

A major factor in issuing a visa is the persons work history, wage and someone of importance who will act as a guarantor. If her work is not an approved profession then forget it.
