Yep... the MFA and Immigration just generated a lot of new business for agents... and the Embassies are not happy... not at all...

@Gerry *******

Yes, it's ridiculous... but... it happened. Also "cooking classes" for one month, one or two days per week. Lately it's getting more strict, also about the money... many places want to see the money seasoned for at least 2 or 3 month now. In the beginning it was enough when the money was in the account the day you apply. We will see... the big fun will come when the first people try to get an extension... 😁

Some people got it with just one (1!) dentist appointment, so yes... your treatment plan should be more than good.

🤫 Don't, tell everyone... it's not my stamp... 🤐

About the numbers... I know and I had the same questions when I saw this picture... some people are a little bit too much about privacy. But I'm pretty sure to remember that it was an "anonymous" post... 😁

About "my" stamp... I'm waiting for the first round of extensions and the first guys that renewed their licenses (2y/5y ?) before I (maybe) change. Also still looking for a good "soft power"... cooking isn't really my thing and Muay Thai in my age? Not sure the Embassy would believe it... 🙄🤔

Just thinking... a little heart attack could be helpful to get some appointments at the hospital...😁

Happy to help... :-)

You never go to the Embassy when you applied online, that's the idea of e-visa... 😉 So... just show the printout at the entrance point here, that's it. You'll get a stamp like this in your passport. If you apply in person at any Embassy or Consulate then you'll get a real sticker.

Ignore him... with nearly 65k you are far (very far) away from "living in poverty" here.

Well... sense or not... whatever their reason is/was... they changed the visa fees in March from "normal" to "crazy"...

And when the DTV came new in July the price was set to 2,000 NZD.

New Zealand charges 2,000$, that's about 41,000 Baht.
