oh right, on the Website in China it says ORIGINAL wedding certificate but the rest can be copies.

However if I can enter Thailand on a visa exempt and get the O visa in Bangkok that may be easier if it's doable. Hence my question.

The school term ends in June here so I will be free to travel then. I can apply a90 day or 1 year O visa here but that will mean my wife sending me our wedding certificate to China.

Bkk bank are the worst and have the most expensive fees, I have Kungsri, Kasikorn and SCB, Kasikorn are the best for international transfers and apps. You can even use there app for international transfers for 200thb flat fee.

It changed a few years that now you have to have a WP or education visa or retirement visa etc.

and I'm saying without the restrictions in Thailand maybe be we would have seen similar here but you are taking the piss and calling them drama queens for their precautions.

@Paul *********

drama queens? Really? With 3000+ dieing and 200,000 infections a DAY? That's the consequence of not listening to the science.

Have you ever considered that maybe the lack of infections in Thailand maybe because of the mask wearing and lockdowns unlike in America where they ignore the science etc and as a result the virus is out of control and 3000+ a day are dieing? So tell me, who is more stupid?? Time some of you got of your high horses. Thailand may not be perfect, but neither are your home countries, or why would you be living here.

Excellent Jill, exactly what I was looking for. The COVID test 72 hrs prior to flying could be an issue, I'll have to check.

This is taking from the Thai website, heck number

4) Fully paid and confirmed air ticket

Is this no longer the case?
