Offshore Workers

I applied 1 week ago via london and was approved for workcation today

All i submitted was

passport

ISA savings

council tax letter with my home address

Contract..... I am staff with salary that was stated saying what vessel i am on with location in Brazil with my rotation 4 weeks on 4 weeks off

i never had any additional documents requested and it was alot easier than made out on here when many said diffrent

It might have helped i had a TR visa during covid and was already in the system who knows

hope that helps some of you to pull the trigger
Answer summary
An offshore worker shares their experience of applying for a Workcation visa in Thailand, stating that the process was easier than previously reported. They only submitted their passport, ISA savings, a council tax letter, and their employment contract, with no additional documents requested. The approval took a week, and they speculated that having a TR visa during COVID-19 might have streamlined their application. The discussion includes comments from other offshore workers, some sharing their own experiences and queries related to remote work and visa requirements.

Interesting. Many people claimed the workation DTV can only be obtained based on remote work, but not offshore work - and that offshore / seasonal workers would need a soft power DTV. I guess you either proved that wrong or just slipped through.

I feel like it's easy when you actually fit all the requirements and actually have the funds and actually have a real job. Mine was similar. No questions asked, easy approval, no problems border hopping either.
