So they’re only willing to grant me a SETV and are telling me that be changing to a work permit in Bangkok. I have not accepted this yet as the left hand does not know what the right hands doing. I want to know for sure before I accept can this be done?

I know US consulates generally only accept US citizens, but that’s clearly stated on the website. I’ve written my begging letter and now have to wait for “however long it takes.” Trying to remain calm while being spoken down to like some piece of shit is a true test of my character 😂

@Daniel ***********

yes. I’m here for a non immigrant B. Website does not state HK resident only and my employer called last week to verify documents needed and was not told. I’ve queued again stating all this and they’ve asked me to write a letter for their supervisor to look over. Getting permanent residency for the USA was a breeze compared to this.

Thanks! Yes the bundle given has all that, must be at least 50 pages. Going to very glad once this is all sorted out 😁

I’m going on to HK on Tuesday. My employers letter is asking for a 12 month multiple entry non b. I’d read the below on the Siam legal website, and although it says UK are these “stricter rules” across the board? In the visa application it states you will not request any refund from my paid visa even if my application is denied. So with this if 12 months is denied and a 90 day single entry is given instead, am I then paying for both essentially? Maybe daft questions but better to be sure, be sure 🤷🏻‍♂️

“New increased security measures have resulted in stricter rules regarding One-Year Thai visa application processing. The issuance of One-year non-immigrant visas are now subject to these stricter rules implemented by the Thai embassy or consulate in the UK. As a result, we have seen significant decline in the success of applications under this visa category.

Please note that it is at the discretion of the Thai embassy or consulate official to issue the One-year non-immigrant visa, or as an alternative a 90-day non immigrant visa is issued in lieu of One-year visa. Some cases may arise depending on the opinion and discretion of the particular official in processing your visa application.

We therefore advise that before you make any payment, kindly check first with any of the Thai embassy or consulate in the UK to validate if approval or issuance of the visa under this category is now viable.”

Just wherever I fancy and not for work, just pleasure 🙌🏻

that great, thanks for your help mate!

I’ll be away every other weekend, can’t wait! 😁

I’ll have to swot up, just thought I’d be lazy first and post here ha. So excited to not worry about this stuff again. I’ve held back on seeing much more of Asia due to the airport lottery lol.

Them ☝🏻
