I've only dealt with Vancouver and they've been great... Sorry your having such a bad experience.

I have gotten 3 evisas all three took less than a week. Call the Embassy!

I argued with airport immigration I was only given 57 days for a 60 day visa. We both had a good laugh and I was pointed towards the cashier. Not worth the aggravation. Worth noting they didn't give me an overstay stamp and I kept the argument very lighthearted.

You can significantly reduce the cost by increasing the deductible. Ask for 250,000 deductible!

Mostly my hands...

I went to immigration with proof of residence and paid 500baht for a letter. Opened an account at the Bangkok Bank. To open a wise account I needed to be in my home country.

It would seem by the comments the TM30 hasn't been explained. When every immigration office has a different interpretation of how it's managed, there isn't an easy interpretation. People need to figure out how their district office wants you to deal with it.

He only needed to make one typo and it's rejected. Even things which most countries would overlook as a genuine mistake will result in a rejection. So you need to start again and of course pay again. I didn't change the date from 2023 on my date of birth, they pointed out my mistake and even told me my actual date of birth, rejected pay again... Welcome to the land of smiles.

Been doing something similar for the past 15 years.

Great post glad it all worked out for you...
