If you have applied in Australia, whilst being in Europe, you will quite possible be rejected and forfeit the money. A face to face interview is unlikely, but if they request it and you don't comply, they will also likely reject the application and you forfeit the money. You could have simply applied in the country you are currently in. Let us know how this plays out.

The only critical ‘qualification’ for Thai Privilege is having the cash to pay for it. It’s an excellent visa though.

You need to qualify for LTR. You need to pay for Thai Elite.

it’s also a respected one. Welcome to Thailand

Anonymous participant 966 you may not think so…

You are not a resident. And you cannot reside in Thailand. You can stay. You can pay tax. But you are a tourist/nomad. Go be nomadic. Or at least understand the intent of your visa. You bought a visa for $300. Doesn't set you up for success.

@David ******

where did this happen David?

@David *****

uh-huh. Ok drama queen. Looking forward to your exciting video 🤣😂🤣 have fun standing around for hours

@David *****

have been pulled over in Thailand at least 30 times over the last 8 years. Never once asked for IDP. I say again, not once. Take your fear mongering bullshit lies elsewhere. Not flying here lol

@Jim **********

I’m sure they are very grateful for your effort

@David *****

no David, YOU must. The rest of us manage just fine without superfluous documents. You will pay NO fines for not carrying it. No police officers will ask for it. I’m telling you, it’s useless
