Should I mention my career break with the NHS when applying for a Thai visa via the soft power route?
DTV question 🙏
Will be applying via soft power route in London (I'm from the UK). Should I mention that I have an official career break with the NHS? (Can take up to 4 years to travel).
I am technically employed but can't work remotely, I have an (up to) 4 year career break with the NHS - not earning wages but I have a job to go back to if I need it.
I don't have a monthly income at the moment.
Should I show proof of my career break, to show I have backup plans, or will it overcomplicate things? 🙏
Thank you

The consensus among commenters is that you should not mention your career break with the NHS when applying for the soft power visa to Thailand. It's suggested that only required information should be disclosed to avoid complicating your application. Some commenters emphasize that this visa doesn't officially require proof of ongoing income, but be prepared to demonstrate how you will support yourself if asked.

If they come back and ask I would just show you have sufficient savings to live on for the duration

Don't ask, don't tell. If they come back asking for info on how you'll sustain yourself then you can give a brief explanation.

I would not mention anything that isn't specifically requested to avoid complicating things. That said, London is known to be one of the 'friendlier' embassies so if they need additional docs they will ask.
Soft Power does NOT officially need proof of ongoing income. However, some embassies have started asking 'how will you support yourself'.

If you are applying as a digital nomad, they want to see a remote job. If you are applying via soft power, they don’t need to know about your career break .
