would agree with that. For many years before moving here I would come for a couple of months every year as a tourist. As I was self employed in the UK and in winter had very little work.

Never. Even when you dress smart an open neck shirt seems fine.

Sounds like your trying to change the old notes. Your only chance maybe a bank un the UK.

Don't know if it's any help to you but I also have to take blood pressure tablets. To get mine I go to the local government hospital. I have a blood test and also see a doctor and then get prescribed 3 months supply of tablets. All for a cost of around 700 bht. All pretty efficient, even if a bit slow. Normally put half a day aside to get this done.

As above. Always blue pen to prove it is original and not photocopy.

Two totally different things. You ask about visa, all info available from your embassy. Food hotel costs and anything else has nothing to do with visa's.

I dont like wearing a mask. But out of courtesy to the Thai people I will wear one when I go inside a shop or shopping mall or other confined areas.

Here in Udon Thani the same. Most people seem to keep wearing the masks. Personally when outside never wear one, when inside a shop or mall then I am happy to put one one on just to be polite.

@Andrew *******

sorry for any confusion. My application was for a non o for being over 50. Obviously different criteria depending on the reason for application.

@David ******

says if you are using UK bank statements it is the last 3 months of statements with each one showing an excess of £10,000. That's what I had to provide when I made my application last December.
