Their due diligence is minimal. I send one months bank statement backed up by my latest P60.

@Reiner ********

Maybe you look suspicious.... I have never encountered those sort of delays in Europe, America or Asia.

I have never had to wait 2 hours anywhere else in the world.......that should help you to recognize how localized the problem is !

I had exactly the same experience last year at DMK but got through in just under 2 hours. No fun "queuing " with hundreds of Chinese.

90 day visa ?????? This is 90 days address reporting !!

Same Tod, had them with me but was never asked for them (although I am aware that others have been).

When I used income I used to print online statements of my Thai bank account showing money in/out and online statements of my UK account showing my income going in/out..... don't think they were ever particularly interested. :)

Depends on your income Paul. If 65,000 Baht+ per month you can apply based on retirement or on marriage.

I have a FCD with Bangkok Bank. The IO in Buriram made me take the book away and have it updated in Bangkok (Buriram branch did not have the facility to update the book) I had a standard letter from the branch and another letter from them which they said was "an update letter' because they not have a machine in the branch to update the FCD book'. No..... the tin soldier insisted on the book being updated and totally disregarded the 3 months of bank statements.

Must have been a queue....a friend went first thing this morning.... 2 minutes flat..
