Maybe an "open door" but you have to be back to Thailand before/on that 'mid April' date of the visa !!! if you leave in March.

Or copy passport ofcourse

@Chris ********************

Yep and never had the same passport number. Every new one has a different one.

@Hans *****

Is a Dutch passport a 'real European passport' ? With me on the first page (passport from 2017), there is my bsn number (The Burgerservicenummer (BSN) is a unique personal number for everyone who is registered in the Personal Records Database)

@Jim **********

, No. You can withdraw y'r 800k฿ immediately after y'r new yearextension based on 12 times 65k฿ is granted. I think even

@Ellie ******

? that 400k฿ is okay at the moment asking the new year extension based on 12x 65k฿ ?

@Pat ***

First remark you can try, but the second "Ask a mate IN ITALY to employ her", would be "killing". She may not work with a tourist Schengen visa in a Schengen country !!! That's also a big reason to reject if they suspect that !!

If you use this screen and then continue, a screen with possible payments pop up. Even a creditcard (bit more expensive I guess) is possible. You only need to make your Thai bankaccount, your recipent. Not need, although possible ofcourse, to make a usd account within Wise.

Nicola, what John Catapano says is the key for a schengen visa. Prove enought she goes back.

Also a bit of proof is that you know eachother quite some time. (photo's).

And she needs a passport ofcourse.

I first went to my municipal in the Netherlands let them stamp a form that my income was high enough to support her and give her accommodation in my house

(My Employer's declaration). Maybe smart the first time, only get her 3 or 4 weeks. Not the full 90 days.

Then I made an invitation letter with reason I wanted to show her my country and introduce her to my family. Also reasons that she has to go back. Also my phone number and that they could reach me .

I also gave 6-7 photo's of me, her and her family. She also did not have a real (tax) job, but helped in a shop and helped family on the (rice/casave) land. Make foto's ! Not so many Thai people have 'a real' job that they have to pay tax or have healtcare insurance by them.

Only if they work at a bigger company.

Then does she have younger children or older parents she has to take care of (so she has to go back), does she have a blue house book, owns land etc. Find as much reasons as possible that she has to go back.

Book a refundable ticket and at last a Thai healthcare/travel insurance for the time she is with you. Then there were 12 or so recomended companies.

Before one had to go to the Embassy for some kind of interview. Now it's done by VFS Global I think. Both Bangkok. I got even a tip that she dresses properly if invited for the interview.

Sometimes it seems to be a bit nitpicking, but in this case the more proof the better.

Good luck.

So again, reading seems an art nowadays 🙄
