I did not send the 4 pages of instr... seemed redundant but did send the checklist with my initials as requested. Being so frustrated with all this, I simply followed the printed instr and used 4 staples on the appl form. It's been a week since they received the appl and old passport. No feedback so far.
Sorry, but my experience was reversed. I almost immediately got a receipt from Thailand Post Mart via eMail. I also looked into my phone "Gallery" but did not get a receipt from the bank. First and hopefully last time I will have to do this rigamoro. In ten years AI will be smarter than our current bureacracy. See receipt below.
