ORIGINAL POSTER

Good afternoon all.

Firstly) When applying for soft power visa, is it acceptable to write occupation as unemployed? I have the said amount of savings and every other document. Just apprehensive about the unemployed part. 

Secondly) it asks when I will leave Thailand and what is my flight info. I have no plans and no flight as I intend on staying for 6 months and will purchase an exit flight closer to the time. Any help on what to write on this application would be greatly appreciated 

Thank you 🙏

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is inquiring if it's acceptable to list their occupation as unemployed when applying for a soft power visa in Thailand, given they have sufficient savings. They also seek advice on what to indicate regarding their exit flight plans, as they intend to remain in Thailand for 6 months without a fixed departure date.

Its not a workation visa and you need proof of 500,000 so you should be ok. That amount of money is more than sufficient for 6 months stay.

For exit flight, put a flight number / day that you would likely leave on. The information on available flights is publically available
