I’d like to add make sure and count the baht before leaving the counter also.

My brother found it odd getting a bunch of 500 baht notes on a $15,000 baht exchange.

Sure enough. He was 3,000 baht short. This was no accident.

What type of employment confirmation is required for a visa application?

My lawyer wanted proof of income from my employer stating that I worked full time and included my hourly wage also.

This was for fiancé visa to the US.

What is the best visa agent in Bangkok for a Thai national wanting a US Tourist Visa?

Good luck with that tourist visa. Very hard to get for a Thai girl. My wife tried and was denied like most all.

If you want to bring her to the US do the K-1 fiancé visa.

Took me 5-6 months with immigration attorney and she was here.

Fiancé visa K1 is the quickest. If not, don’t waste your time.
