Hey guys

What did you put in for the 5 years plan ? Not sure what to explain. Was thinking of saying staying for 1,5 years travel outside of Thailand and then coming back but how does that work with leaving after 6 months for visa run ? Do you have to explain the visa run as well ?

Cheers for any advice 🙏

Hi all!

I just received an update on my application asking me for further documents:

"Since application would get 5 years-visa, please provide the letter of explanation of your plan/ project for the next 5 years in Thailand"

I'm applying from Belgium under soft power (thai cuisine).

I already wrote a cover letter explaining my plans during the 12-month course (which was merged with my bank statements- maybe they haven't seen it?). I'm a professional chef wanting to master Thai cuisine, its cultural background etc.

Seems a bit too much to say I'm going to apply for four other 12-month cooking classes...

I was planning on saying I'd like to explore all regions and thus, need more than one year to learn all regional dishes... Which is true btw.

They don't seem to be asking how I'll sustain myself..

Any thoughts?

Thank you, this group has already been very helpful!!!
