Hey Thailand expats and digital nomads! š I need some advice on the Thai Digital Talent Visa (also called Digital Nomad Visa or LTR Visa for Highly-Skilled Professionals).
I'm a 37-year-old American currently in Hat Yai, working remotely with over $100k in savings. I'm hoping to stay long-term in Thailand and this visa seems perfect. But I've got some questions:
1. Do I have to leave Thailand to apply for this visa? Or can I do it from within the country?
2. I know the Thai Embassy in Kuala Lumpur handles these visas, but does anyone know if the Thai Consulate in Penang can process them too? Penang would be way more convenient for me.
3. Has anyone applied for this visa recently? What was your experience like?
4. Any tips on proving my digital skills or remote work status?
