@Jonamel ******

super helpful, thanks!

The catch is that I don't have an employer as I'm a freelancer, so not sure what docs would have to get in that case..

- passport & visa

- driving licence

- landlord blue book and ID with signature

- rental contract

- employment contract / must be stated clearly that you can work in Thailand

- Tax Number

I got mine a month ago but there are posts in this group recently that says they no longer open, just try your luck. Bring all the docs so they can decide right away.
