What is the process and requirements for obtaining a Workcation visa in Thailand?

Workcation Approved 🎉 (Manila)

I hope a delayed post is better than no post 555.

Timeline:

February 2nd: I applied and paid.

February 9th: Been asked for further documents and to arrive for an interview.

February 11th: Arrived for the interview. The interviewer was very friendly. Actually She was more curious about me and my laptop than my work. Later that day I was approved.

March 6th: Arrived in Thailand. No questions asked (Male Immigration Officer).

A note on printing: I printed and laminated my DTV. A6 wasn't available so I chose A4. Actually, it is very redundant IMO. The Thai officer had trouble getting the laminated visa into his scanner.

My notes:

In case your payslips aren't in English, you better translate and highlight parts of net income, month, annual salary...

In your bank flow - highlight the income that matches the payslips you attached.

Location risk: Not being near the embassy where you applied is a risk in case you are called for an interview. Do you really want to take that risk?

Regarding the wait: There was a week between my application and being summoned for an interview, but it actually took less time than it seems. This is because the Thai elections were held during those dates, there was a weekend, and I originally applied after business hours of the embassy.

In case you have a question I haven't replied to, I would be glad to answer :)

This group helped me a lot and now it's my (delayed) time to share!
