Where should I upload additional documents for my visa application in Thailand?

Mike *******

Merge documents with Google documents. Stay away from online free pdf merge websites. They're scams. YT Google docs videos and learn how to do it.

I had to combine three months bank statements.

Don't upload bank statements to free merge websites and give away your details.

Trusting Google is bad enough but at least it is free

@Brandon ***********

I got a 90 day stamp but that doesn't prove my local address. I'm assuming I have to provide 'proof' of my local address during the application. Perhaps I can just fill in the address then... thanks for the info on possible application times.

I will get my paperwork together and crack on.
