ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi all. I want to get an ED Visa. But I have a remote job from back home and have to go back every month for a week. So basically 3 weeks Chiang mai and 1 week home (hong kong) every month. Will it be an issue? I know I have to get re entry permits at the airport.  Beyond that, will it be an issue to say I'm traveling as part of my job once a month?

Thanks Garrett Greenwald. I will be attending it for sure. They won't say anything if I say I'm going for work?

Your reason for leaving is none of their business and they wont ask. Theyre only interested in why you are entering and you have a genuine visa and reason to.
