Is it normal for a NON-O visa application to be pending approval just a week before travel?

@TG ********

sadly, many Thai embassies ignore it and ask the applicants for already booked tickets in and out

the 6-months multi entry Tourist Visa has been around since Thai embassies discontinued issuing the double-entry tourist visa . .some time around 2004 . . . . .It can only be applied for in your country of residence

@Lonnie *******

was it a multi entry 6-months tourist visa? Because that's what happens, the Thai embassy will wait until the last day before you fly, so you do not lose too many days of the 6-months visa validity which starts on the date of issue . .ACTUALLY they did EVERYTHING right

@Dylan *******

you are right, it is absurd. In the light when you consider that the e-visa form only asks you for your INTENDED flight dates, not for already booked tickets . . I think it being unfair and humiliating

@Graham *****

@Wayne *******

well, I think you are wrong. It can say "pending approval" and he still will receive an email with a request for more documents. The bracket where it might say "pending approval" does not contain the possibility to mention a document request

@Dylan *******

the long delay is very unusual, however the explanation might be, that the high season is approaching and the consulate has to process more applications than they do during the low season

Do Thai tax residents earning less than 120,000 THB need to file a tax return?

Andreas *********

Anonymer Teilnehmer 391 the Thai authorities do have insight into your ATM withdrawals, as the also have insight into your account movements. It is called CRS. If they have a reason to follow your money trail, they have got all the tools they need to check . . the Common Reporting Standard is a fact!

Anonymer Teilnehmer 979 you forgot: you have to show your passport to the exchange offices . . You need to wake up: It is very difficult to escape the CRS system
