With a tourist visa your not allowed to work so why you need a letter from HR???

S/he's, with her NICKNAME, is probably too embarrassed having called it a TOURIST visa and needing an HR letter.

Im am a company director and the companies Managing Director, and i was in the same situation. I wrote my resume and my job description as if i was the HR manager, and that was enough for them... if you're a content creator surely you have the talent to create (fabricate) these...

Go to Vietnam, thats the Paradise for Blokes like you, we have enough 🤡 already here in Thailand
John *********
You're not required to show anything like that for a tourist visa. What visa are you applying for?
Brandon ************
John Nielson the requirements are whatever the embassy requires. It's not an uncommon requirement for Thai embassies in Africa.
Adam ********
If you’re self-employed, you won’t have an HR letter. Instead, prepare your own employment confirmation letter and include supporting documents like bank statements, invoices, or proof of income to show financial stability and ongoing work.

OPAdam Taylor thank you so much 🙏 i will contact you

Show them you have money in your bank. Last two months statements.

Are you creating content related to Thailand?

Write a letter explaining what you do.

Probably use an "Employment contract or professional portfolio showing digital nomad or freelancer status" in lieu of an HR Letter ?? 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️

Combine the bank statement with the payment received screenshots in one Pdf and provide them with a cover letter mentioning the details your nature of work and your payment source.

Check YT...there's plenty of people that go over the process. You basically need to write the letterhead for yourself, as the owner and sole employee of your company. Also explain in the letter that you do not work with Thai clients and that your revenue is strictly earned abroad.

Victor Rothhaas As long as that person has a company

@Victor *********
this isn't for DTV. It's just a tourist visa for someone in an African countryHappyDach*********
OPVictor Rothhaas i have checked and i didn't find anyone with the same situation.. may you please give me any title or link for any video that can help?

Imagine you worked for a company, now think how would you prove it, contract, payslips, tax records etc. Now apply those rules to your business, how are you going to demonstrate you have real employment? Business name, company registration, tax records, income and so on, now if you're just doing it for cash and not paying tax then you've got zero chance of demonstrating you have an established business.

Which Thai Embassy/Thai Consulate (where) is requesting a HR Letter??
Brandon ************
@Dca ****
I think it's Cairo but not completely sureHappyDach*********
OP@Brandon ***********
yes, it's cairo .. I'm applying online and they need an HR Letter
Wannikea *********
Please post the exact wording of the request.
Lea ******
You can explain your financial situation and upload the letter in pdf together with some screenshots as proof
John **********
I guess you mean the DTV? You can apply as a content creator but you should show your income and preferably that you are registered to pay tax on your income. As to a letter from HR you can just write an explanation but also include the fact you won't work with any Thai entities or clients inside Thailand
HappyDach*********
OP@John *********
no i mean Tourist visa not DTV.. i need an E Visa to enter ThailandHappyDach*********
OPHappyDachshund3862 i have applied and then they asked for more documents
Graham ******
HappyDachshund3862 but a Tourist Visa does not need anything from your employer so what are you applying for?
Brandon ************
@Graham *****
it's not unusual for African countries
Rosie ********
Tell them you’re a freelancer
Ian ********
Rosie Nguyen saying you're a freelancer would definetly not be a good idea. Many Thai people do that job already.
Nicknam*******
Ian DelMar why not? every service can be done by freelance. It's just a description of one's working situation. Some are employees, others are freelancers. But it's not regarding any specific skills or services.
Nicknam*******
Alan Turnbull exactly the same

Christer *****
Rosie Nguyen Every beggar is a freelancer. They want proof of income/clients
Rosie ********
Christer Bau he didn’t mention of DTV to proof that, just tourist visa
