What documents and process are required to obtain a Destination Thailand Visa through the embassy?
I received my Destination Thailand Visa through the embassy in Berlin yesterday. It was applied for on September 3rd, so it took just under a working week for processing. There were no follow-up questions; everything went through smoothly.
I am employed in Germany and work remotely (online editor).
For the issuance, I submitted:
- Copy of my passport
- Photo
- Proof of residence (a national ID card would have sufficed)
- Address in Thailand (any hotel; they didn't ask to see a booking confirmation)
- Flight date (they didn't ask to see a booking confirmation)
- Proof of funds (I submitted a four-week-old savings account statement with a balance of 13,500 euros, which was accepted without any issues)
- Employment contract with permission to work from Thailand

Excellent! My employer in Germany is worried that he will have to deal with the Thai authorities. What can I say to him? He demands reliable sources.
Markus ********
Great! Do you stay in Thailand for more than 180 days a year? If so, how do you (or your employer) handle payroll accounting? Income tax as usual in Germany and no social security contributions?
Tomasz ********
Same in Warsaw. No additional questions, same set of documents. Working week of processing time. Got mine yesterday
