Yes, i have experienced this exactly the same. Would it of been that incredibly nice lady in the little room for service counter 7?????, she is the devil.

I got stuffed over with the pattaya special requirements as even with an extension on my tr60 money would not have been in long enough, so imwas told would neednthe covid extension as well, went for that and was refused under the grounds of having 25days+ of stay already.

Ive decided to fight on and do a border bounce/run for another 30 days which will mature my deposit for the "make believe" requirement.

Just for your information the bribe money to get past that is

Chonburi, ive asked round and prices range from to , usually around the mark. One thought ( not a rant) if you open bank account somewhere you dont live theres a high chance you will be charged a fee evertime you use an atm.

Every agent i asked quoted the higher fee for the first year and then a much reduced fee every year after.

I decided to do it myself, 1900, big saving as long as you tivk all the boxes.

Cheapest and most recommended was Tik Tok services also go by the name of Easy Visa there in Jomtien and will show up on a google search, they quoted me 30k for visa and 5k for bank

, rental argeement/tm30, passport plus photocopies of front page, latest stamp, tm6, printed out copy of tourist visa and 300 baht. This was jomtien one month ago.

All do able, got the forms when i did my extension of tr60 so will be going into the "den of vipers" as prepared and armed as possible. Thankyou as always

I know, big shame in my eyes. I will carry on trying without funding the spoils of corruption.

I did hear a story that the Chonburi office had a higher manager/director whomtried to stamp out the corruption, and they got rid of him!

🤣😂🤣

Exactly what i thought, just pondering now on wether to re apply on a different day or go along with it
