Agree that a visa agent could ‘troubleshoot’. After two failed applications, spending further time and money on a third personal application would more than likely be pointless.
Good questions as always James! It’s important that the applicant answers these at this point. I too suspect some subtle trickery (leading questions) here.
Only your travel insurance company could answer that. Cover is usually limited to a certain number of days per trip. Important to take it out before you leave home and, ideally, immediately upon booking flights/hotels to cover you for cancellation in case of accident or illness prior to departure.
Absolutely. After so long you can spot the signals. Turning your paperwork over and over, sighing and pointlessly turning empty envelopes upside down. You then ask ‘can we find a way around this?’. 500 baht usually avoids the need to go away and come back again so I’m happy and so is the IO.
Anonymous participant 535 That’s already been reported several times. DTV holders applying for extensions at local immigration offices have faced questioning and given up, deciding to ‘border bounce’ instead.
I understand what you are saying Ben. However, if they are digital nomads with no ties to Thailand why would they want to risk another application? If it was me, I’d strike Thailand off my list and move on elsewhere.
