Also, wondering why is it necessary to fly from home country? Is this the case every time??

It will be interesting to see how this develops next week. Have told a few people to join this group purely because everyone and anyone has chipped in with posts and videos and screenshots today and I said I will trust the info in here because it is a pretty well established group and all the admins have helped me a lot, in particular you

Your son can piggy back the visa. There is additional cost if doing through agent but unsure whether he would need 500k. Seems a bit extreme for a child 🧐

May be worth asking in Scuba Diving Thailand

@Matt ******

do you still need the funds in bank for this medical appointment?

I always extend and follow the same rules for my son as I do for me. I just think it is respectful to do so but also I worry about any future implications not following rules could carry as I like to come to Thailand often so I'd prefer to do things right despite him not necessarily needing it. Everyone says it depends on the immigration officer on the day when you do different things and last thing I'd want is questions galore around this or it to even impact my son or me returning or it affecting my ability to get a longer term visa at a future date.

It's done same day Tahnee. Koh Tao immigration office usually really quick at getting everything done. You do need the proof of where you're staying though from the hotel/hostel

Can I ask what your portfolio consisted of? Online tutor here too

Anyone know the details about eligibility for thai bank accounts with this yet
