Hi everyone,

Would love to get your help on the below, and if you ever come up with that request. I submitted my documents to the Belgian embassy with the digital normal workcation (I have a permanent contract here that lets me work from anywhere), and 3 days late,r they came back with the following request for additional documents:

Higher res photo - did you scan or maybe take a picture of your passport-sized photo with your phone? I scanned it to ensure it looks better, but I guess not suitable

2.Other request documents: Since application would get 5 years-visa, please provide the letter of explanation of your plan/ project for the next 5 years in Thailand

Have you ever needed to submit project plan like this - not sure what plan they expect, that maybe I want to take language and cooking courses, perhaps at my own pace and understand the culture better?

Thanks in advance for your help!

TLDR : Answer Summary
A user seeking a long-term workcation visa from the Belgian embassy in Thailand received requests for additional documentation, including a higher resolution photo and a detailed project plan for the next five years in Thailand. The user is uncertain about the expectations for the project plan. Community responses suggest that similar requests have been made to others and advise obtaining professionally taken passport photos while emphasizing the importance of detailing the visa's benefits in the project plan.

Go to a shop and get new passport pictures taken, upload one of them.

making pictures of pictures behind plastic does not work.

Some one from Austria posted earlier the same question regarding " the 5 year plan". It is common question in Tokyo seems lately to be asked in more embassies. Just detail your plan using the DTV , the benefit of the DTV, etc. Check the recent posts for the same question and answers.
