Anonymous participant bizarre. There’s been some reports about hcmc being difficult. Never heard about the time stamp requirement before

Anonymous participant 938 and I put the Norwegian embassy of Amsterdam for a Norwegian passport and was approved. Jakarta. It’s supposed to match the Passport, obviously.

They don’t typically state why it was rejected, id be very surprised if doing it correctly got someone rejected. But humans do mistakes. And you got lucky 🤷🏻‍♂️

Most common reason for rejection is middle name/name issues due to the automatic passport scan without double checking.

Place of issue means “place of issue “ not something i else (obviously)

@Steve ******

wrong! you write letter for letter exactly what it is says in Passport, in this case the Embassy in Bangkok.

Edit: for anyone still confused and arguing

its even in the official guide from Thai Immigration of common mistakes NOT to do:

@Toni ******

100% this

@Dennis ********

you often end up with zero tax in Thailand after tax credits from tax paid in home is deducted. But it’s assessable income you are supposed to report.

But in many cases net tax would be zero.

Its not a waste if money to follow the law. AND it also helps you keep you thai Bank account……..

@Bryan **********

while true, income from the US brought into Thailand IS assessable income in Thailand. Even if DTAs allows for already paid taxes as tax credits; you are still supposed to report it even if you end up with zero tax in Thailand after deductions of tax credits

@Dany *******

no! You only file tax return if you have actual assessable remitted income. In fact they wont even give you tax id if you can’t show proof of assessable income.

AND assessable income does not necessarily mean you end up paying tax due to tax credits via DTA’s etc. But any ASSESSABLE income should be reported.

Do some research, it’s quite important to understand this.

I personally have assessable income I remit and have to report. But due to DTA and already paid taxes elsewhere, my effective tax in Thailand is Zero.

Anonymous participant 844 i paid cash then

Took me 3 days in Jakarta as well without using any agent. But was before they switched to E-visa

Worst anyone can do with it is to send you money……But I suspect you can redact it. Call the specific embassy and ask. Every embassy/consulates have different rules
