In my experience she must have strong ties to return back. This can be a letter from an employer she's worked with for some time, a house, children, business that makes a large profit or something strong that has to return to. I tried a few times without success and the relationship broke down. I'm glad in a way as it showed her true colours. In addition English at the interview would really help

In Hua Hin. The best I found was this agent. She charges 2000 baht and pay after opening the account

The Airline normally determines but rarely asks if you from a country that has 60 days entry allowed. If they ask you, then say you will land cross into our of the neighbourhood countries. Last resort is a disposable ticket. I got mine for £15, which I never used. Don't stress over it. There are ways

I use Wise. Its easy and low cost

I have not tried that yet but since Hua Hin is where I want to finally settle I don't mind but it may be different for you. Honestly I just don't know. I was just glad to get an account and because of the app facility I don't think it matters much

If you're willing to travel to Hua Hin, I know a very reliable and honest agent that will do it for you. 2,000 baht is her charge. Pay after you get the account so there is little risk

Hi Mike. I have someone who can help with opening a bank account. Please text me and I'll send you her contact. You only pay after you get the account opened

I found for UK pound, they give you the same rate

@Daniel *****

yes, I got a response after 1 month after I'd already got the visa

They will take the duty free off you so please don't take any alcohol with you
