recommending lawyers in bangkok who deal.with Surat province or a lawyer in this area will have connections on the island. Different everywhere. For example my lawyer in bangkok deals with Chumphon province because her family is from there..she has police, immigration and connections with the local government offices

Are you in thailand and on KPG now? Best to talk to people who have already done this on KPG and who have connections here..also to know you're landlord/seller/ leaser person ally. Definitely a good lawyer from.surat thani province.

wishing you all the best with this. I hope her mom can understand the importance of letting her go.to a family event and to embrace both nationalities

Ok you say it's for a 3 week holiday and then another post says she wants to live in Ireland. Sounds like a mediator needed and a family discussion with a lawyer present

thank you this good to know. So they outsource from Thailand to Delhi. Is that why the British Embassy in BKK sold the beautiful land to Central Embassy mall?

Wait the agent was making the application in Bangkok or in Delhi?

I have thai friend who use an agent to go to france every year and her application was also refused 2 times..she has her own business and family in bangkok. It took 2 months but the 3rd time they finally approved the visa.

Im 30 years here and fully agrre with you..if your attitude is warm and open this I what you will attract. Keep up your positive thoughts. Even in bug cities and touristy places there are so many lovely Thai people..as in any other country, there are the ones who will try to rip you off and double pricing can also be annoying, yet the majority are helpful and kind.

Are you doing a border run or getting a visa at the embassy?

Both places have good and bad qualities, check.out the schools, the houses and the atmosphere in both places, rent a car and take a look at other places, hua him, cha am etc..also.depends on what you are doing for work and type of visa
