This is where I started years ago, no fuss.

many banks, according to branches won't. I have had and seen this experience for years. I have an account. Two in fact, formerly three, each time I had to show my retirement visa.

I wish you all the best with this journey. I am in lockdown in Melbourne too, it's hard enough being forcibly relocated to Australia after 40 years and proving who I am. Due to COVID I could not return to Thailand, my home of 30 years, and have lost my long term visa there. Thank goodness I could have my friend in Thailand DHL my paperwork to Australia. Otherwise, I'd be destitute. It's hard proving and then establishing who you are, but one thing I know is persistence is key.

Sorry that you are experiencing this difficulty and your mother's sickness. This is hard if there is no documentation. It's a must for Thailand. Any relatives alive? Where was she born? The Ampur must have registered her if she was born in Thailand. Though that's not a given always back then. You'll have to work from creating a proper paper trail.

This is the best advice and rings true of all cases I have witnessed to date. My grandson is half Thai.

My friend's daughter had to do a DNA test, she'd never met her father, he was willing to sign on that he was her father at the Ampur, update the birth cert, and then with DNA results she was in. Much more complicated than your case.

That all too, and the TM 30 petition, twitter feeds of Andrew Macgreggor showing on his feed, etc. It's a message to all to shut up, toe the line, and be rah-rah flag waving.

No use of comfort 100's . You'd have to have been in Thailand for decades to get this.
