Great report, Bernd! Did they ask for a bank statement, e.g. balance of 20,000 baht? Also, are they offering multiple tourist visas too, or only single ones?
No, I wish I were, but I'm not a citizen. But getting a SETV while on holiday there would be nice, though. By the way, what cash gets the better exchange rate in NZ: US dollars or Euros? (Also will they accept 500 Euro banknotes? They seem to be more and more frowned upon, e.g. in the UK.)
So, even though I'm a citizen of Schengen country 'A', I'm not required to apply with my own embassy, but can just pick any of the other member states? How about the language skills; would my partner be asked to have a Greek language test, when applying with the Greeks?
