no this was 3 weeks ago.

@Dhimas **

no they asked me for details of accommodation in Thailand during my stay. They requested this 4 times and 4 times I forwarded the same info. On the 5th occasion I ignored the request and they sent me a visa by email arriving one day after my arrival in Thailand. I faced a lot of questions at DMK, they eventually gave me 60 days exemption. When I visited the IO to get TM30 I showed them the screenshots of my experience. They admitted it was strange behaviour from the Jakarta embassy. To add insult to injury the visa exempt stamp for 60 days cancels out my visa for 90 days . So money I paid lost.

my experience with Jakarta was anything but simple. Trying for an e tourist visa.

I have just returned to DMK from Bali. While there I applied for an EVisa through the Embassy in Jakarta. 14 days before departure. Four times this Embassy emailed me to show proof of accommodation address for all of my stay in Thailand. Four times I replied with the details as requested. As a result I had to return to Thailand with no visa and was questioned at Immigration. I showed them Photographic proof of the correspondence between Jakarta and myself. They more or less admitted it was strange and granted me a visa exemption. Next day The Embassy in Jakarta emailed me my e visa. All that trouble for nothing.

At that money your being scammed.

@Rolf ********

actually it's a 💩💩💩hole

@James ********

unless it's a new thing it is mentioned on the Siam Legal website and another visa agency has suggested this to me. So let's wait and see.

I understand that someone on a tourist visa can open a Thai savings account which is acceptable for the visa you require.
