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.
