Are there any Merchant Seaman here? Would we qualify for remote work? I have a work rotation of 60 days on the ship and 60 days vacation. I Work a total of six months a year and I spend my off time in Thailand ๐น๐ญ. I have been doing this for almost 2 years now and I never had any issues but last time I was stopped and questioned about my frequent visits even though I have never overstayed. I donโt even get extensions because I only have 60 days vacation so it worked out perfectly. I want to continue to spend my off time in Thailand so i guess I should try to get this visa. Iโm currently on the ship until early March. Also could I get it digitally without going to an embassy?
