Your carrier should allow you to start the day of departure

I believe they only go back 7 years. Get fingerprinted and send in with form and $18.00 to FBI. Also do on line much faster response

Nice going! I hope to have mine soon, before the end of next month. I shall return

thank you me too

@Gerg *********

thanks me too I guess if I have to I can always do a border once I have my Visa. If I haven't gotten it by the time I leave. From what I understand

@John *********

OK thank you. Wasn't sure about tax returns.

@Gerg *********

yes I did go to our State Police for fingerprints and submitted it to Thai consulate or embassy in LA told me I needed done by the FBI. Didn't realize it would take close to 2 months when I mailed a check form and fingerprints. Didn't realize I could have done it on line which is much faster. I will be cutting it close as I leave at the end of September. It's been about 4 weeks so far. Hopefully no more snags. 😁

I am applying for the OA with multi entry just waiting on my report from FBI. I would like to know all the documents needed to open a Thai bank account as a US citizen. I do know about the financial requirements. Thanks if anyone has answers?

@John *********

i didn't know that I'm waiting on my OA myself. We'll be there the end of next month. Thanks I had never heard of this before.

Man, I hope it works out for you. Hope for the best.
