Why are they now asking for USD for the Visa on Arrival at Nong Khai?

Marcels *********

they always asked for usd. the visa fee is announced on all official websites in usd. nowhere its stated in baht. ofc they accept thb but the amount isnt equivalent to 40 usd.

and it was like this already ten years ago when i came to laos the first time.

dont complain if u havent done proper research before u go

How can I help my Thai girlfriend get a visitor visa to London?

Marcels *********

its important that she can either prove to have enough money or u will have to prove that u can pay for everything and that she had reason return to thailand (working contract (is the best), family, other duties). they are mainly afraid that no one can pay for her and that she wont go back.. (strange thinking)
