The embassy sent me the same. I've already deleted those emails, but have the link in a messenger message. After reading this thread, I started looking for the link. I tried to access the cut and paste link from a month ago - tgia.longstay.org - and it comes up for sale on godaddy. lol. Strange... I went to the link at the time, and it was a Thai govt site. I'm wondering if the DC embassy was just behind the times on what is actually required now.
I just got our OA visas, with AXA insurance. It took 2 months because of the insurance not being up loaded to the web site. We went through the Washington DC, USA Embassy. I was told by AXA there is no site for them to upload the information, and the forms AXA provides are sufficient to get the visa. Thai Embassy was insistent that the web site had to be updated, or AXA had to fill out the Thai form. The Thai form, has the exact same information that would be on the Thai govt form. The Embassy even confirmed that. This is the link to the Thai form. It was crazy. If you want, you can pm me for more info how I resolved.
We enjoy the OnNut area. There now, and will be for a few months. We enjoy Bangkok life, and no small reason is the public transportation - makes it so easy to get around. For us, while we enjoy Jomtien & Pattaya, Bangkok has so much more to offer. And a weekend or week long trip to Pattaya area seems to be enough.
Paul James Maybe true, but with all the press about human trafficking, and the legal requirements needed to take a kid to another country - that someone - from checking in at Tan Son Nhat to Thailand BKK immigration might have inquired. Leaving Tan Son Nhat for BKK last year, I couldn't check in because the date on my PCR test wasn't the same format as my passport, lol.
No, Nor the same last name as her Aunt, my wife. My wife's passport is Vietnamese. Her name on it is her maiden name. (Which has caused us lotta pain at airports, since her greencard last name is mine, lol)
Good to read this confirmation, just today we got the original & translated copy of the Vietnamese government form to allow this. Our niece is coming with us to Bangkok tomorrow
We flew Singapore Air to Bangkok early last year. Decided to return home early. We found it was impossible to change the ticket date as we could not contact the Bangkok office as it was closed. We followed their online process, but the airlines never responded except for automated messages. Tried for 5 weeks, no luck. This was April/May. Finally got a 50% refund in December last year. It was October before a human actually contacted us.
