Altogether a very disappointing experience, and just adds to the general view that immigration appear to be pissed off with the MFA issuing these 5 year visas
Next, the want a company bank statement from their home country for at least 3 months showing income from remote working. They have no concept that much remote work can be lumpy income. Mine is contractual and one or two large payments per year, none in the last 3 months.
Went to Hue Hin immigration today to get an extension for MTV visa. Note the sub office in Blueport will not process these.
So, first issue for most holders, HH IMMIGRATION insist on 500,000 baht in a THAI bank account. As many have found out it can be most difficult to open a Thai bank account on an MTV visa!!!
