ORIGINAL POSTERHello, wonderful people! I have a few questions:
1. I plan to be in Thailand for the first time on DTV in January 2026. I have been there multiple times without a visa (I am a Canadian). Should I apply for the DTV now (in the next month) or wait until November?
2. I am a health care provider. I am allowed to work remotely and am a business owner (sole proprietorship). However, I cannot provide Thai immigration with receipts with my client's name (for privacy reasons). Can I provide them with a few receipts with some information redacted? I will also give them bank receipts.
Thank you so much for your suggestions!
