Destination Thailand Visa visa application remote work employment contract income requirements Thai Embassy expat advice

Hi everyone!

I’m looking to apply for the Destination Thailand Visa as a remote worker, but I just started my new job this month. My first payslip and contract are from early October, and I’m planning a trip to Taiwan or Jakarta on the 28th of this month.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? Could starting the job recently cause any issues with the visa application? I hope it’s okay to ask here—I couldn’t find a similar post, so I wanted to reach out. 

Thanks so much in advance!

There is no income requirements, just the 500K funds requirement. Present your contract and certificate of employment stating your remote worker authorization and single payslip if you wish.

they also want a “company license” showing the registration of the company you’re employed with.
