Chris ********

UK Thai Embassy visa page shows OA needs proof of 65k monthly or 800k in bank. Non O shows 3-month bank statement of at least £10,000. I can do either of these but are both of these Thai accounts or can I use UK bank? Apologies for being a bit of a cabbage!

Why was I charged 3,000 baht for my first COVID visa extension in Thailand instead of the 1,900 baht fee?

Chris ********

@Henrik *************

why is he a "cheap charlie"?. If the price is set, why pay more?. Do you pay extra for everything, fridge, car, TV?. And paying 100 baht extra, £2.20, you are not exactly splashing the cash around yourself!
