How long does it typically take to receive an email from the Thai E-visa site after they request documents?

Stephen *******************

@Aiman *************

also when they request additional information it’s usually just a formality and the E-Visa is ready to be sent it’s just crossing the “T’s” and doting the “I’s”at their end.

I am pretty sure you will receive the visa within 24hrs of submitting what they have requested

How can I set up direct deposit for my USA government pension to Bangkok Bank while I'm not in Thailand?

Stephen *******************

Hope you have notified your pension supplier you are no longer living in your home country and instead living in Thailand as this causes problems with any future increases due to inflation that you would not be eligible for 🤔

Why do friends react differently to moving to Thailand compared to a European country?

Stephen *******************

A lot of people in the UK think the whole of Thailand operates like Pattaya, sex drugs and scam merchants.

In fact 20 years ago I was asked before I moved here “What language do they speak there”

Wow! If it doesn’t happen in Benidorm it doesn’t happen at all for some folk 🤣🤣🤣
