they probably can't make it better than the original file. Can you get a new digital copy?

From their reply maybe the quality of your digital copy is not good enough? Is it scanned in using a real scanner, or is it a photo of it?

Depends ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

that's my usual method too. Just have several copies of whatever you can think of that they might ask for.

One year, after several years of the same document required, in two sets, they suddenly wanted 3 sets 😂.

And the photos had to be real photos, like the original, on set#3, but on set#2 copies were acceptable. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Now I just always have extra photos, extra copies etc.

It's not like it costs a fortune to do that either, or take lots of time.

Bank papers, 200 baht, and usually not more than 30 minutes spent.

Photos, a couple hundred baht if needing the family/address photos. Any photo shop can print out those in minutes.

If for marriage, 20 baht at the ampur (city hall) to get an updated marriage certificate, and in our local one, that is 10 minutes on average.

Then for all the copies of everything, well, copy that at home, or pay 50 baht or something like that in a copy shop. Again a few minutes.

@Gray *****

that is a good point. I also use a separate account just for immigration. But you could also just blank out whatever you don't want them to see. Leaving only the amounts visible there. Because they do need to be able to see that it didn't go below a certain something, or was seasoned for long enough, etc.

@Phil *********

it really is that simple if you just take the time beforehand to find out what your specific office requires.

An extra set of copies.

A specific document, that you could usually just easily get if you don't have it already.

Some specific photos.

Extra bank documents.

Whatever.

It's by far the most effective and cheap agent available. Your local immigration office. You just have to find out what they require specifically.

After doing it a few times you know the drill. You just always have extra copies/and the original maybe, of whatever they have ever asked for, as that might have been slightly different from one year to the next.

For 100% success rate, just ask them a few weeks before, to have time to make those extra copies, or get that extra whatever, with zero hassle.

Also when inside Schengen, you rarely have to show a passport to cross borders.

@Kool ******

many countries do not stamp or otherwise register when you are returning home to that country as a citizen. There will often be no record to check. Denmark does like that for example. You essentially just flash your passport to the IO and when they see it is Danish they just wave you on.

You can study on any kind of visa. So if you qualify for work, then get a visa that supports that. You cannot (legally) work on an ED visa.

You won't get a wp for it though
