Will having a Thai address on my work documents affect my visa application from the UK?
Hi guys,
I’m a seafarer that works at sea. I visit Thailand often so I can do Muay Thai.
To save on money I have my repatriation address in Thailand so work pay for my flights to Thailand.
Having a Thai address on my work contracts, payslips, do you think this will affect my application? I will be applying in the UK .
Thanks

Just change the address on slips, easy enough my agent did it for me.

Assuming you are applying for soft power having signed up with a Muay Thai gym it shouldn't matter. The only question would be how much time you spend outside Thailand versus inside and would this cause an issue

Im in the same boat as you pardon the pun. Unsure to go for worcation or soft power route.

@Chris ******
because remote worker means working remotely online, It doesn't relate to a job merely outside your country's boundaries.Chris *******
@Wannikea ********
