The first time, I used a copy of my non-immigrant visa. Took literally twelve hours.

After a year, they requested an update, so I gave them my Thai driver's license. Request was rather rude, rather ahead of time they just outright blocked me from accessing their services.

Unless they accept your LTR under the visa option, I’d be prepared to get a local license down at the department land transport and try again.

What’s the name of said boarder agent and where are they based

Tried that to be told my debit card doesn’t have my middle name on it.

Ended up using wise and dumping cash into my Thai bank account

Kasikorn bank offers a PAY&TOUR product available for tourists. Just bring foreign cash, convert it into baht and dump it into a temporary Kasikorn account. You can get a debit card and scan app.

They run several pages, including Thai Visa Advice. While I can't personally vouch for their services since I've never used them, I can attest to the excellent public advice they consistently provide. If you're looking for a more personalized service, I think it’s worth considering their paid service for better results.

Seriously mate, that’s a low effort post!

Sounds like you should pay ‘Thai Visa Center’ to be babied through the visa process.

I can’t find any reference to immigration status requirements in the terms of service. Where are you reading that?

I have a bank account in Thailand myself.

Recently I saw a new product released from Kasikorn Bank called “Pay&Tour”. Seems like a good product for short term guests. local debit card + atm access + scan app.

@Jeffrey ******

Front page of immigration website should have pointed you in the right direction.

Nope, zero respect for bad actors. I prefer not to be complicit in me being taken advantage of.

It seems that a large law firm is uncertain, but it’s reasonable to assume that the immigration office handling you has authority over your compliance in Thailand. Since immigration offices can have slightly different procedures, if they are requesting information, you should provide it as required.

Let’s be honest, other than our own experiences which there is zero, this is a question for immigration. I don’t see how people can be so blatant with their yes or no, it’s up to the individuals who have these visas to contact immigration and ask.
