Yes ..I was wondering if it would work for me .. I ask the dentist for a letter ..he only did for 6 mths .. so ..after reading a few people who were rejected.. I asked for a 2 yr plan .. that worked...only question asked was... Where your main card account ...mobile banking ? ... I pointed out 50,000 baht deposit into a Thai account ...highlighted every figure that was important...and said it was my partners account and this is the card I use ..it hers .. show her a card .. had no name on it ..just the bank ..that was in Vientiane.. one of last walk in... applied morning 9.15 Monday 16th Dec morning 9.15 ...pick up passport ..and surprisingly a visa ...on Wednesday 18th at 3.30 pm ...used on Friday to re-entry...Happy Pete 🙂🙏
