What is the process for applying for a visa in Thailand, based on personal experiences?

This group really supported me in my application which has now been approved, so thought I would share my experience incase it can help others.

Background- been in Thailand for about a year and a half on tourist visas. I travel on 2 passports, British and Irish.

Applied under workcation to HCMC, after 3 working days it got cancelled due to wrong date of issue in passport. I applied again the following day uploading the same documents, 2 working days I got asked for the folllowing:

Other request documents: Please provide a business registration document showing the company name, the name of the legal representative, and a company profile that includes details about its history, vision, mission, products, and achievements. -

I had already given this, I am a freelancer but have had the same one client for a year, so I gave their certificate registering at companies house as well as confirmation that I have registered as a sole trader, along with websites, LinkedIn etc.

Other request documents: examples of your work, along with any supporting materials that demonstrate your experience and qualifications, etc.-

again had submitted this, but due to sensitive information had to block a lot of info out. I then submitted meeting minutes along with letter templates and CV.

Document indicating current location: Please provide the latest copy of your full passport, including all pages (even the empty ones). If you have a Temporary Resident Card (TRC), kindly submit it along with the passport. The photos must show the date and time they were taken.-

I uploaded all pages of both passports and also added my hotel booking and a selfie outside the hotel with date and time.

After submitting it was another 3.5 working days and then I got approved 🙂
