It says United Kingdom as it includes Northern Ireland, which technically is not Great Britain

ETA is for visa-exempt entries which has a 300 baht tax attached. It's been delayed whilst this TM6 is reintroduced

If you're only here for a month I wouldn't bother. The only people who care are at the immigration office and you won't be going there. Airport immigration don't care one little bit

You do the application online. I've done it many times for my lady. The main things they want to see are:-

1) Details of employment, including length of service and salary - also need a letter from the employer verifying these facts

2) Bank account savings details

3) Details of any property ownership (land, house etc)

4) Details of trip itinerary (Hotel bookings and/or invitation letters from family or friends)

5) Statement of your own financial situation and if you will be financially supporting the applicant

That always does the job for me.

VFS only come into it to do the biometrics, they have no say in whether visa is accepted or rejected.

Not quite sure what you're having trouble with. The TM6 form was suspended a couple of years ago, now it's coming back as an electronic form. This is for ALL arrivals. The ETA is for people arriving without a visa and will be tied to the 300 Baht tourism tax. Is it that difficult? Is it the Thais who don't know what's going on, or is it foreigners who can't understand plain processes?

Just enter on a 60-day free entry stamp, if necessary get the 30-day extension at the immigration office. I think most dental procedures can be carried out in a three-month window.

Someone did one in Samut Prakan today. Look through the recent posts and you'll find what he had to supply
Jim ********
Got one for my lady last year, it was about 5000 baht, although she paid a little extra (a few hundred baht) to VFS for additional service, which I think gave her priority service when she went in to do her biometrics
Jim ********
It's 90 days from the previous report. You'll get an email reminder

I kind of assumed that's what everyone was doing these days
