Can someone without a full-time job successfully apply for a SETV to Thailand?
Hi.
My partner is going to apply for SETV via the UK site. Currently, she doesn’t have a full time job and has been doing some freelance work now and then. I can guarantee any financial support if needed, though we aren’t married. She has over £2K on her Revolut account and I can top it up if needed.
Has anyone in a similar situation (no proof of employment) applied for a SETV and got a visa OR what kind of obstacles, workarounds we need to be prepared for to get her a visa? Thank you in advance 🙏

SETV does not require a certain income. Only a certain amount on entry.

Tod Daniels, Thank you very much! Our main concerns are ‘no regular income to show in a statement for the last 3 months’ and ‘no proof of employment’. Seems like we don’t need to stress too much about neither of those.

the financial requirements for a single entry tourist visa are 20K baht or the equivalent so if they have £2K that clearly exceeds the requirement.

don't forget the requirements are you upload THREE months of bank statements

OP@Tod ********
Yes, just merged 3 months statements into one file, all good with this one. Another question is what should be stated under the ‘Document indicating current location (eg valid visa, proof of airline tickets/accommodation payment, etc’……🧐How any of those listed options could be a proof of a current location? 🤷🏻♂️ Would you know how best to approach this rather confusing question? Thank you once again! 🙏🙏🙏

OP@Tod ********
Thank you again! 🙏 I thought about doing exactly that, just wasn’t sure how airline/accommodation confirmations could be be considered as a proof of ‘current location’. I guess it’s one of the many ever changing Thai entry system peculiarities… 🤷🏻♂️Tod *********
RelaxingCaterpillar9972 you use a file combining program (which you can use free on the web and can merge multiple jpg or pdf files to one single file you can upload
RelaxingCat************
OPAlan Hunter Thank you for your reply. 🙏 But how are we supposed to upload multiple docs if only one is allowed per each section? We also have one way tickets to and from Thailand, ie at least 2 files just for flights’ confirmation…. Apologies for bombarding with all these questions, just find some parts of the application rather confusing… 😳

RelaxingCaterpillar9972 Current location is any document with her name and current address on it. A copy of her airline ticket showing Date of Arrival and Departure needed. Accomodation where she is staying at least for first few days showing Name of accommodation and address Full Address. These are all separate requirements.

unless I am mistaken, proof of employment is not required to apply for an SETV

I just applied for one, and whilst they asked about my employment status, no proof was required.Activity
