@Robin ***
It means you turn up in the Thai Embassy in the country you applied in and answer their queries.Robin ****

@Robin ***
Just keep things simple and straightforward. Get over these initial hurdles which are a minor irritation. Then yiu have a really good 5 year visa. Hope it all goes well.Reply to

-You technically need to stay put in the country where you applied until the visa is approved. Many get away with not doing this and just fly/enter. However, now that you have an interview, even if via phone, I would be very cautious doing this. If they ask you where you are and you inform them you have gone to Thailand, they will cancel your application. If you lie, that is very risky. What embassy did you apply via and when?Robin ****
ORIGINAL POSTERHey dude i fullfill every requirements, i will work remote in Thailand and fullfill every of this. Now i have to go to Frankfurt, i just logged in.

One of the requirements is you stay in the country where you apply until the visa application is processed completely.John *******
@Robin ***
- so they are asking for an in person interview?John *******
@Robin ***
it could be a phone interview thoughRobin ****
ORIGINAL POSTER@John ******
I dont think, check out the screenshot.John *******
@Robin ***
well it says “apply at” which is a vague statement, because even without an interview, you would be classified as applying at that embassy (even if all online). -Reply to

The piss taking is just outrageous. You have people expecting visa turnaround in days as though Embassy staff owe them a living. You have people wanting to have a visa without fulfilling the requirements. Then others wanting it as cheap as possible. Even more thinking they can bend to rules to suit their holiday arrangements. Half of them are potless adding nothing to the economy in the spirit the visa was designed for. Many obviously working in country and not remotely FFSStef *****
@Greg *******
it's crazy, I see most of the posts and am really amused by some questionsWannikea *********
@Greg *******
took you a bit longer than I expected to vent, good on you. This sense of entitlement, impatience, and wanting instant gratification from many is annoying as fark, try waiting 8 months just for an appointment to apply for a US visa.Greg ********
@Wannikea ********
I am good at venting but it takes a while to blow. I am giggling now. My ex Thai staff vented and ex colleagues vented when this visa initiated. What they predicted is happening. I really hope it does not end in tears because it is a great visa for genuine people.Greg ********
@Wannikea ********
I am trying not to vent. I am very calm now lol.Reply to
