Thanks,

@Mic****

. I'll be careful.

Thanks,

@Mi**

, that’s helpful and goes a long way to explaining the amount of disagreement among people advising on which visa to apply for where and how to go about opening a bank account, the latter appearing to be down to individual branches. I’m sure we’ll get used to it but it’s something we haven’t really experienced in decades of travelling there as tourists and on business.

Not uncomfortable,

@Bra****

, just a little confused. A supposedly definitive list of required documents is published on global consular websites and then they throw in a curve ball that takes longer to get than the rest put together. If I'd known it was required, I'd have started the 'quest' a month earlier.

n.

I’ve uploaded a consolidated HSBC statement covering three months with an average of more than the requirement for both of us. The UAE, being a tad patriarchal, puts the man’s name on the statement, even for joint accounts, but I’m submitting the same ones for both of us. Will that be a problem,

@Jo**

?

That’s the plan,

Thanks,

@Nongnuch *******

. We are applying for the 90-day visa here in the UAE but can’t open a Thai bank account until we arrive there.

Thanks,

@Ni***

. The online form here seems to require you to upload a copy of your ticket, which must be from the airline, not a travel agent.

Thanks,

@Fl***

. Noted.

If memory serves,

@Wann****

, the field has a red asterisk against it, so I assumed it was mandatory. I’ll check again, thanks.
