TLDR : Answer Summary

When applying for a tourist visa in Thailand, it's generally not necessary to provide documents like a confirmation letter from your employer, school, self-assessment, or pension statement. You can submit a note stating "Not applicable" instead. If the immigration department needs further information, they will reach out to you via email after your application is submitted.

Generally for a tourist visa you don't need this and can get away with uploading something that says "Not applicable"

If they're not happy with that they will e-mail you for additional information after you submit your application.

Mmm, sorry

, I don't understand. You say you was here during Covid and "almost lost the will to live here". How DO you live here then ? You lost your year extension or so ? If you live here you should have the correct visa or extenssion I guess 🤷‍♂️

It's an English expression. I was in CM for about 7 months. And, yes, I did get in during Covid. It was a mission - the cost of the quarantine hotel didn't help.. Anyway, don't stress on my account. I've been getting in and out of Thailand twice a year since 2015 so I will work out a way. But things are definitely not easy these days.

I hope so! These forms are increasingly daunting - and I got into Thailand during Covid! Unvaxxed! (All declared and legitimate I hasten to add!)

I've almost lost the will to live here! Tried an OA - so many criteria to be met. Thai insurance as well as my own insurance. Moved on to Tourist V but can't seem to meet all those criteria either! May just go for a visa exemption on arrival. Had enough!

only a 15 day difference between tourist visa and Visa exempt currently. It might matter to some but not to others.

Yes. I can extend but then I only get 30 days and reentry may not be so smooth - especially as I plan to be in BKK or Cm for 7 months. Hence the desire to have the TV.
