Firstly it is easy enough for you to do yourself. Agents just cost you money. The only thing you need to prove is that you can support you and your wife with your income in the UK. You can have zero in the bank account but you will need to show last 6 months accounts from memory.

Be careful with the word silly reasons. A rejection is a rejection.

I found using an iPad helped. You can also then take pictures on the spot and upload.

Always do. It’s much quicker 😂

Long term visa first ( you can use proof of assets

From your own bank) then agreements for permanent / rented premises and then go to the bank. This way no agent fees or the bank con if selling insurance

Stay a night. Much more fun

you can use your savings in the USA to prove you can support the 0 and then when you have the visa you can open the Thai bank account.

12 months as need to show consistency of earning. Money has to go into Thai baht to prove you can support yourself.

For you I would go for the deposit. I understand you can earn interest now. You can withdraw during the year but put back 3 months before renewal. Easiest way is to leave in and place in an interest earning account

Depends what you want to achieve. Each issued for their own reason and have requirements.

True if you travel out to the country. I live 8kk and done south to north and always true works

@Mark *******

absolutely. It’s a con
