Thanks for that Rogerio! I guess she just filled out the form as best she could and threw her money away. I told her a Visa Agent probably could've helped. I was told that USA have a quota system and once the limit is exceeded no one is getting in. Of course, they continue to accept Visa applications pocketing the fees although they're going to refuse all applications.

I'll have to ask her that! Don't know how much the car was worth, hopefully she had some left over? Incidentally, sister-in-law applied for a work visa to Australia and was also turned down. Knowing what goes on in the 'English-speaking Countries' I consider they've a nerve refusing Thai's. They're the least of their worries.

My Thai Mrs was offered a job working in a Thai restaurant owned by her Aunt in Amarillo. She sold her car to pay for the visa application. Guess what?

@Paul **********

Congrats, sorted at least!

You must use the right bank! It's always safest to send 'valuables' by cheapest means in plain envelopes so I've been told.

Thanks for the information Greg. My U.K. bank told me they don't send cards to Thailand. However, and most fortunately for me, renewed credit cards 'slip through' although they intercept and destroy my debit cards. A customer since the 1960's and have to rely upon their mistakes to continue to use their services. Marvellous!

Yes, absolutely. In my experience Thai Royal Mail is excellent. Our postman knows I/we can be at any one of three places. If we're not at the address upon the envelope he goes to both of the others, that's service!

I was de-boarded at Madrid Airport by Air Europa staff (not for Covid). They allowed me to rebook the next available flight with themselves at no additional cost. However, they explained that this can only be done once.

@Kool ******

Thanks for the reminder. Had those plus yellow fever (all for the first time since whatever I had in childhood) back in 2009. I know yellow fever now lasts for life since 2016 (previously valid 10 years).
