80,000 USD is all that is required? I thought that visa required proof of "established company". Can I use my tax returns as "proof"?

I live in Pattay and I take a van to Cambodia. Cost is about 3500 baht and takes about 8 hours.

I recently bought a one way ticket from BKK to KLA for $50, I don't know what a round trip ticket would cost. I believe the 8 hour round trip road trip preferable. After factoring waiting for the return trip, waiting 2 hours before flight, travel to/from the airport, the road trips just makes more sense. Plus I am probably saving the planet.

METV gets you 9 months which is plenty of time to figure out your next step. You will have to leave every 90 days (you can stay 60 days + 30 day extension).

I agree to disagree - but I see your point and I respect your earnestness.

@Graham *****

That may be the case, but that isn't the application. But as I pointed out above, our opinions aren't a concern to the people processing the application.

Come man you've been in Thailand to know - just because a thing says something, doesn't make it true

@Rene *****

That's the pre-application, you'll need to go beyond that to get the actual application.

You know.. The truth of matter is your opinions aren't considered when they review the visa application (which so not what's in that screenshot).

If the embassy doesn't taken issue - why do you?? More curious what good does it do you to defend non-existent "rules"..

You act as though you've never been to Thailand.. People who have been to Thailand would know, people drive down the wrong side of the road all the the time. There are different rules for different immigration offices, police take bribes - etc etc

US Credit reports are unheard of in Thailand.

Also cash is king. For paying rent you are better off using a bank account but it's not necessary.

I did mine a couple of days ago. I uploaded only jpg. For proof address they accepted my TX driver's license.

100% success rate suggests it's not luck.

They don't ask current location - they ask about residence.
