If i where to go the workation route.

What papers are exactly needed?

Applying in Oslo.

- 500k in account

- Employment contract.

- Portfolio or is resume fine?

- Paper from company that i will work remote in thailand and not with any thai customers?

The work am doing is provision based salary.

And i just started 01.08.2025.

Will this be a problem if i can prove other source of income like pension?

Pension is about 70000 bath pr month.

I will write a cover letter explaining my work, and my pension.

Is there anything else i need to think about?

TLDR : Answer Summary
To apply for a workation visa from Oslo to Thailand, you will need several key documents: a bank statement showing at least 500,000 Baht, an employment contract, a resume (ensure it's comprehensive), and a letter from your company confirming that you will be working remotely in Thailand without dealing with Thai customers. If your work is commission-based and you have begun only recently, it may be beneficial to provide proof of additional income like a pension (e.g., 70,000 Baht per month), though there may be concerns about its acceptance as proof of income. Writing a cover letter to clarify your work situation can also help. Additionally, confirming details with the Thai embassy can clarify requirements.

They won’t consider your pension. It’s not an income from work.

Prepare to show them the payslips and your income should not be lower than what people in your profession earn.

They basically have an email that you could send and ask before applying. Why don’t you do that?

Anonymous participant 426 that's not true. They will consider it, depending on the letter he writes.

Anonymous participant 426 Thats why am asking here first. Better impression if i dont ask too many questions and just apply with all the right paperwork the first time.

Why dont you just reply with the answer instead of just telling me stuff i already know and didnt ask for?
