I don t like visa burocracy in thailand but is better then in europe. Try to move a thai to european country and see how is difficult, also for tourism only is expensive and you instead can get visa free for 1 month here

if is a real question I can suggest the right options available, send me a private messenger

many people go to the first exchange counter and only later discover to be defrauded. That is one example. Bangkok Bank as some good exchange rates sometimes but not in this case. I bought rubles from them in May at the best rate available in Thailand and also better then in Moscow.

@Damien *******

the paper work was in order and she wish to go to Italy where she lived many years before covid and also went to school there, VFS scam

also visa for europe are more difficult to get, the collection of document is done by VFS and they ask for documents also when are not required, example a warranty of funds from insurance when the person has proved money on his bank. I think they get some benefit from insurer that they suggest and also there are agents that facilitate the process and have connections with VFS. Don't go to europe, not friendly for thai turist

Isranee Nee rules in Thailand are applied only sometimes random also for smoke

@Thai *****

normally marry a thai is not so merry, all other options are better and cheaper

Nong Khai cross will get 30 days not 45

normally is not a problem to travel in Thailand with a copy of passport with visa pages also, but some problems occurs if police want the original and you are not able to provide it. The solution is not use agents when you wish to travel in days near your visa renovation. Most of immigration offices keep passport only one day, so do it by yourself
