That is the branch most Pattaya agents used. I bet they have a hell of a lot of work to do.

Anonymous participant 672 Not good. I thought with a Chanote you should have been OK. I guess what I heard an agent say was not correct then.

This place offers it as a wider "Cultural Activities" course.

That is very good info for many applying in the region

Anonymous participant It certainly varies by embassy. We have also seen where recent deposits are accepted in the UK. You said you saw a post where 3 months were required. I can only assume it was due to a staff member???

Anonymous participant That is the issue. Often it is not consistent. It can be down to the person who requests your application.

Been a couple of posts recently stating the money does not need seeding. Can be a recent deposit at UK Thai Embassy.

Anonymous participant 991 The way it has been handled is a mess. There is no consistency or clarity. I can understand if changes are made but they should be communicated with clarity and time given. As an example, many UK banks will not allow overseas addresses, ie non-UK residents, to keep their accounts open. They were given time and why these changes were made.

Exactly - I think many are around 400 USD for document check and submission. Course and 10k visa fee on top. I think that is a reasonable cost if someone does want to use an agent or their own reasons

Anonymous participant 748 Who is charging that much? The normal price from multiple agents is nowhere near that.
