@Jim *******

hopefully yes

This embassy, I’m pretty sure is the one that all the agents are using for the ‘ enhanced’ payments

They probably don’t want to even consider looking at normal applications when they can be making 60,000 baht per applications from agents

@Lalph *****

🤔 isn’t this how they earn a living though

Actually, this embassy is the one. I’m pretty sure 💯 sure all the agents are using for the dodgy Visa applications.

They probably don’t want to process any normal ones and will process just the agent ones instead to get the massive bribes (60k baht a time)

@Lalph *****

why though

@Pete ******

hmm really where?

@Alma **************

general rule DO NOT apply with language course or face high chance of rejection

Your choice

no....language course not part of soft power

Yeah but are there any legal consequences for not submitting tax returns here, i mean can you be arrested? i don't think so, i think they most they will do is try and deny you entry next time and require back payment if they can ever prove it whatever .........what happens if i withdraw 500k cash baht now....and then live of that for the next 2 years lets say if you are doing border bounce ......why would you be proactive in wanting Thai government taking potentially 10-20k (if you earn 60k+ a month baht - when nothing is clear yet concerining taxation rules)
