Approved from Los Angeles in one week.
I triple checked all the information that was required, made sure of my passport info & number was correct that my photo is in the proper format with a clear background, centered, and recent. I wrote a letter of intention for my stay in Thailand, detailed the work that I do, and how I’ll be traveling in and out of the country over the next couple of years. I submitted a contract from a client who has interest in Southeast Asia to develop business opportunities along with some examples of my work in the digital landscape. Submitted three months of business bank statements showing the required funds, and a utility bill showing my current location.
This group has been very helpful. I was stressed out because I didn’t wanna lose $400 due to some silly error but it all worked out! Thanks for th advice and help!
