I use free software called PD Fill. This is free software that allows you to add documents to a single pdf file. This option is available in the tools application. There are numerous similar tools to work with pdf files, PD Fill is ok. I think this is for PC only. Search it on Google if you are interested.

Maybe go to immigration ask them to give you written instructions for the bank. They may have this already to help foreigners that may have the same problem.

Is there an age limit whereby a child can be used as a dependent for non-o visa application? For instance if the child is over the age of 18 they may no longer be considered a dependent of the father.

The original post had mentioned there was no information concerning one year multi-entry non-o visa. I was simply making reference to the visa fee section where there is reference made to this. The website is clear that an appointment is required and they provide a link to this page. The downloadable form is the form I used last year so possibly is still relevant. The information I had posted is the second page of the application form. The only item I do not see on their website is the bank balance requirement. Maybe it is there, I simply may not see it. Or maybe it is enforced case by case. They do reserve the rite to request any information they feel is required.

It's mentioned in fine print on the application form you download from Savannakhet consulate website. Although it does not mention the bank balance requirement.

It's unfortunate they don't see a need to cater to the offshore worker. Same problem many years ago. Due to work commitments, difficult to get a visa. There are so many people living in Thailand on a temporary basis and working offshore. The offshore worker generally makes a good income and can be a benefit to Thailand.

I'm in Chanuman mostly. Speak only basic Thai. Just enough to get by. Just barely. Actually where I went wrong is the first 22 years living in Thailand I worked offshore so learning Thai was never a priority. So the last 12 years after stop working, I hit the books pretty hard for about 3 years. Mostly learning by myself. Advice to others. If you are only part time in Thailand, try to prioritize learning the language. Don't make the same mistake I made.

Poor selection of words on my part. Where I live, Lao is the predominate dialect. I wish I could understand it better to fit in with society better.
