Is an invitation letter needed for a Thai tourist visa?

Carsten ************

Make sure you can show on arrival:

- 20.000,- thb in cash

- hotel booking

- proof of onward or return flight within the validity of your visa (usually 60 days)

Don't expect a nice guy at Immigration.

What should I include as my city of birth on a Thai Visa application to ensure it matches my passport?

Carsten ************

@John ******

I got it. Your "places of birth" are not wrong but short of the city.

@John ******

yes, but probably because the guys just are too dumb to fill the correct info. Why does anybody types US if it's a US Document? Place of birth is the City within the country.

EDIT: US you would type when asked for nationality or country.

@John ******

US Passports show the "place of birth". That's the city and maybe additionally the state, but not the state only. Therefore it's filled incorrect.

What should I do if someone is giving me false visa information and harassing me in a Facebook group?

Carsten ************

@Chris *****

It's not that easy. In Thailand the laws or rules are "bendable". Try to find something written down on Immigration Website they're arguing about here. You won't find the "rules".

What are the current requirements for opening a bank account in Thailand on a Non-OA visa?

Carsten ************

@Ken *******

having a house book or work permit or anything else what certifies your address might work as well, but in general a certification of your residency is required.

Where can I file my 90 day reporting online for Thailand?

Carsten ************

@Sean *********

since the entry dates in previous and next application don't match, I guess you will have an issue.
