Be careful making a big fuss.

Airline and immigration can do whatever they like and you can’t fix it.

If you really piss someone off you might bet blacklisted for any type of airline flights.

Then YOU are done….

It is extremely difficult to bring a young person, especially a woman from a Third World country to USA.

They are all considered a flight risk.

They have to show a very strong reason to go back home.

Try having her travel to other more cooperative Western countries first.

She needs money, land, job,car, children etc back home.

Good luck.

@Oliver *******
you should listen to what the embassy staff are telling you they require. Bother you landlord again and get the extra pages. Tell him that he will lose his tenant because you will not be able to return to Thailand……

Also consider that the embassy requirement is now in their computer system and another embassy will see that.

Good luck!

I have used Chase and BB NY office for transfer several time. It is domestic transfer here and automatically becomes international transfer in my BB account.

Money arrived in about one day.

No.

But the reward is you get to live in Thailand year after year.

Not bad huh?

Thank you for this very detailed explanation.

To those who wonder if it’s really necessary: look at this 20K as an insurance policy and a source of cash if your ATM is not working.

To those who cannot afford 20K: stay home for now and work longer.

To those who want to argue: have a nice stay in detention……

Of course. Just the same as USA immigration can see your history.
