looks like it's finally live....but a few technical issues online are uploading the photo of the Passport.

The info is there now, but looks like glitches with the uploading of the passport photo

@Jacob *********

interested to hear how you get on I am in the same situation. Started to fill it out but having issues with the passport upload .. so on hold for now

@Frank-Steven **********

same issue ... Looks like a common issue then

@Robert ***********

this is very helpful 🙏🏻 thanks

@Jason *******

can I ask who you used for insurance and how much it cost?

@Kool ******

thanks this information has been brilliant

@Brandon ***********

ok brilliant.. I've been trying to get my head around this for a while now and I honestly felt like i was going around in circles and even ready to pay an agent (65k she wanted on Samui) or Thai elite visa to just get this down and out the way. I was given so much conflicting information it left me absolutely lost.

I appreciate all the information above.

@Kool ******

thanks for that detailed response 🙏🏻,

I am comfortable with the bank situation and will look at swift transfer as I was planning to do a wise transfer over (but I see what you mean as hard to transfer out of Thailand with wise )

I've never used swift but I will check it out.

I'll go to BBK bank and ask for the letters required and try to have all the documentation ready.

Once I have the 90 day initial O visa can I apply right away for the 1 year extension? Or do I have to wait?

Again thanks for the tax info ...I am under retirement age and have an accountant at home in the UK , so I'll make sure all is up to date and I have my tax letters to show I am paying my bills in the UK .. and see what else they might ask for.

@Jo *********

is this not even more complicated?
