Another top tip, if the visa website comes back and asks you for more information. I was asked to provide a drivers licence because they thought I was driving across the border to enter. I was going in by hire car and driver. I created a text document the same way, using google docs, explaining that I was not driving and uploaded that as a pdf to the area of the visa site they wanted my licence submitted. That seemed to satisfy them. They did not ask for more evidence. There is no way to contact them or ask quations so uploading a document to question them is the only way I have found to get over a couple of the hurdles I expereinced when I applied for my Non O.

this is how I do it using google docs. I wouldn't trust any other website to have a copy of my data, at least you can delete the document from google docs once it is creeated. You are unable to do that with other webistes, even tho' they say they may delete your data.

Its easy to do. You don't have to do it in one go. You can save the form if you get stuck and come back to it. I think its two weeks before the system deletes incomplete submissions so if and when that happens just start again. It's quite easy

Google docs. Put 3 jpg images in to a new document. You can click on an image in the document to resize it. Fit two to a page. Download the document as a pdf. Upload that. Delete the original at Google docs once you download it. Keep a copy on your phone or laptop.

You shouldn't trust any online unknown website with your banking details. Google is bad enough.

3 months of bank statements should do it. You can only upload one document. Use Google docs. Import 3 jpg images of statements into a new document. Resize by click and drag to get 2 images on one page. Download as pdf. Upload that. Must not be larger than 3mb.

if you're in Malaysia to use online it will offer you the options of your nearest immigration office to process the application. I guess that's incase they need to call you in for interview. I chose penang as im near there on the mainland. KL was also an option. The website tells you to choose your nearest office in a drop down menu.

I dont know that penang is 'better' but my non O application was processed reasonably quickly

I am in penang and applied online for a non O visa for retirement. It took around 12 days to be approved

Use Google docs. Add images of bank statements to a new document and resize to fit 2 to a page. (Click and drag on images) download as a pdf. Upload that. You can only add one file per section with 3mb file size limit.

Fastest and easiest. Go home and reconsider and research a little more. Nothing is fast in thailand
