Dear Members,

I want to apply for Tourist Visa single entry. I am unemployed at the moment. Of course, I have savings for my journey in Thailand.

My last job was from 2011 to 2020 in a trade company. What should I write as an answer to this question at the application form:

Occupation (specify present position and name of employer)

Thank you very much.
Answer summary
A user inquired about what to write as their occupation on their tourist visa application, given that they are currently unemployed and have savings for their trip. The community provided various suggestions, including 'unemployed,' 'retired,' or listing their last job, emphasizing that financial documentation is likely more crucial than the specific occupation stated.

I would definitely not write unemployed...

Write something respectable sounding. You don't want to be rejected by a judgemental clerk in a Thailand consulate over something minor.

Just write unemployed, or retired, or something like that. They'll want to see your bank statement regardless of what you write.
