lets keep this clean guys, we all know the rules are always changing, we cannot deny that.

I know its required if you are getting a work permit for a teaching position and if you are applying to study at University to get the Student visa.

Hey Blom, when I got my student visa I didnt need to translate it for the Ministry of education. I hope that helps

yes exactly. She didnt want to help me, thats just the end of it. she made up her mind and that was that

@Robert ******

No worries at all. No my shengen will be done 19th Sept, then I would travel to Thailand, visit some friends etc and then go home to SA. So I thought since I have all that info it would be ok, but anyhoo it came as abit of NO surprise as the woman was not friendly at all, I know their way. Its up to how they feel in the moment, such is my opinion of the matter.

@Tod ********

which I am as I have a Shengen Visa.

Yes I did read that, but I called to see if they would be able to assist me seeing as though going all the way back to SA would be a little silly and expensive just for a tourist visa. The Irony is that I can still go to Thailand and get a stamp for 30 days and then go to Laos for a Visa, so its just a little annoying that they couldnt make an exception since Im just traveling for a short period. But anyway, such is the Thai way.
