Just tried KS bank. No luck.

Bangkok seemed to start then a staff came over and said we don’t do it. Not sure if they’re just lazy, honest or uneducated in the visa situation.

Yeah mate, that’s correct. I’m not really sure to be honest. I probably should have asked but I didn’t want to push it ha ha.

As soon as I went there, he didn’t even really ask about the birth certificate, he just wanted to enquire further about my money situation and when I showed him the proof on my phone, he approved me there.

Before that, however he did mention that he wanted to wait for my birth certificate to come in but then after a bit more chat and clear that I will not be taking work from Thai people, they approved it.

Why did you keep going to The consulate? You can just do it online until you get the interview.

yeah but if I was waiting for a month for my birth certificate, that means that would be 14 days without sending through the paperwork

Anonymous participant 897 It would have been incomplete due to them asking for a document and me not being able to provide it until 2-4 weeks... So yeah, incomplete.

Update! I send them a word

File stating that my birth certificate is at least two weeks away and if there’s any chance I could get an extension on the application time that would be great and they instantly sent me back an interview…

Good sign? Bad sign?

What If They asked for my birth certificate which I’ve obviously told them I don’t have yet? 🤦🏼

How can processing time be 15 days when it states "Incomplete applications over 14 days will be automatically removed from the system"?
