Yes. They saw my wife and I go to the foreigners line where it looked like a couple of hundred were waiting and we got escorted to Thai line where only two were waiting. And we got a lot of „How come he gets to go in that line“

Ok. When I wrote the hospital today, I told them Specifically that I was applying for a DTV soft power using this appointment, and I asked them to send me the appropriate paperwork. So, I guess I will have to wait and see what the send me.

@Paulie *******

so did they deny your visa and did you loose your fee?

If it is a Thai government issued document you don’t need to get it legalized for use in Thailand. With that said, if you are using it for another country, you need to go by the rules of that country. For example to get something legalized by the German Consulate you have to use the list of translators that they approve. Get it translated and then bring the documents to the consulate and they will put their magic stamps on it. On the other hand if it is for use in the U.S., the U.S. dose not use magic stamps, but just wants the document translated to English and the translators phone number, address and name along with a statement that they are fluent in both English and Thai. In any event the path you go down depends on what you are trying to do.

@Randy *****

yes. They will send the letter. My insurance covers the physical 100 percent. So it is free to me. Also, both my wife and I had one last year.

@Randy *****

I don’t think they look to hard concerning medical issues. I am going to do it with my annual physical at BKK hospital. Remember, you can get a DTV for a basket weaving class.

Note if you have your Thai wife with you at passport control you end up going in a line where the officer may not speak any English, since the line is for Thai nationals that can’t use the autogates. So you don’t seem to get questioned much.

Oh. Back to your original question. When you apply online, you have to select a consulate of the country that you are currently in or you are a resident of. As to the ticket, they just want to know when you will be arriving. So if you are a resident of UK and are flying to Paris before going to BKK, just how that in your itinerary. At least that is what I found when I applied for my 90-day Spousal Visa. FYI, going to Thailand and leaving Thailand is so much easier when going through immigration. Meaning you get to go through the Thai Passport Immigration line which is usually short because Thais usually use the autogates.

Why would you apply for a 60 day visa. Just go there and extend near 30 days.

@Ellie ******

that would make since. However in Khon Kaen when I needed the letter for my bank account and my license, they required the 90 report which was quite easy. So I think as usual it all depends on which office you are going through. After all this is Thailand and there are no absolutes.
