I see your point but hasn’t really been my experience. Exchange isn’t exactly for that day but most of the time pretty close. But I do see your point. 👍

expensive? I think the receiving Thai bank charges 150B fee, origin bank zero. Doesn’t seem expensive to me? 🤷‍♂️

I’ve only used swift codes bank to bank, 3 - 5 days.

when a person reports an account who is using pictures of a person you actually know, who is using those pictures on their account, you tell them and FB still does nothing is not okay.

How does the vendor know?

Verification would be a good start! When a profile has pics of a white chick from Boston on the profile but the profiles marked as ‘he’ and all IP address round trip requests come from Nigeria is plenty of fairly easy evidence. Granted this could even be marginalized but tech professionals will see the BS, so they should MUCH MORE than they do. 🤷‍♂️

have to admit I’m getting tired of reporting scammer accounts (that are clearly scammer accounts) and FB does nothing to stop it. 🤮

first, being a developer, no clearly what you see is not necessarily what they see, trust me in this! It is possible if a part of process is marked failed/rejected it could be removed from view as failed, insufficient, incomplete or other adjectives. I’ve written many of this type of workflow for government entities.

So I would suggest best effort diligence to find where you did not make the criteria. It is not their job to hold your hand, give you hints or help. It’s their job to evaluate required submissions based on documented criteria. Many, many people (self included) have passed this criteria.

If you want the visa it’s your job to read the manual and solve the problem. It’s not their job.

I understand you’re somewhat attempting to do this here but when there’s no evidence/artifacts for people to review here and you disregard suggestions without apparent effort, not much anyone can do for you. 👍

I think the largest concentrations are nearest to tourism. Pattaya area (mostly men I think), Phuket, Hua Hin, Bangkok, Rayong, Chiang Mai. Beyond that scattered everywhere. Here in Khon Kaen city I see other farang at the mall (not necessarily Americans) but never in my village.

based only on what I’ve seen suggests there’s something not quite as expected about xyz docs or they just want you to do again? Not having any idea how the workflow works on their end maybe they genuinely can’t see the previous submission? 🤷‍♂️

Worst case just send the same stuff again?
