How should I handle my rental lease and occupation status when applying for the MT 5-year visa in Thailand?
Hi everyone, I hold an Australian passport and I am in Thailand now. I hope to apply for the MT 5 year visa. Just want to ask a few questions if I may.
- I already have a rental lease for a private property. When I go out of the country to apply for the visa, let’s say December, should I submit the existing lease or change the start date to December and then submit it? Or maybe it’s better to obtain a proof from a hotel?
- Re occupation, is it better to say ‘unemployed’, so that they won’t ask for further evidence such as proof of income?
Many thanks.

OPIf I lodge online, is Vietnam a good place to apply in terms of success rate, price and process time ? How much money is the visa application ?

You can be asked for proof of income no matter what you put. Even for soft power they want to understand how you will be able to support yourself for 5 years

I wasn’t asked for any proof of residence. I just filled in the address of the gym when asked for ‘address in Thailand’ (the gym does offer bungalows for rent), but they never asked for any confirmation or other proof.

MT visa? You mean the DTV - Muay Thai option (Softpower)? It is ok to submit a lease. You can still be asked to show proof of income even though unemployed depending on where you apply.
