How can I get a Performer’s / actors “O” type visa?
Long story short.
I am a successful touring DJ , singer, and music producer (played major festivals with Snoop Dogg, SEVENTEEN, etc) actress (commercials only) , and content creator.
I am not SAG-AFRA. But I’ve booked major TV commercials.
I know in Japan for example, there’s companies like GxPlus , Halo Live, etc who sponsor foreign entertainers and YouTubers for the explicit purpose of promoting Japan soft power and allowing them to work with Japanese brands etc.
I’m guessing there are similar companies here, as I have seen foreigners in ads, commercials, and obviously DJing etc.
I have a large Asian and western following with many media articles about me to prove this for immigration sake (I know many countries ask for media coverage)
Anyways does this sound plausible?
I don’t care about the actual earning potential in baht because I still earn passively from my US / Canadian work.
