It took 25 days total, and extra documentations. For anyone wanting a frame of reference for their own experience, I'll share mine since your stories helped me get it together:

I'm a Cambodian-American, and have never been to Thailand. I'm a character artist, and art teacher. I sell and ship my own illustrations, but I also teach and instruct and stream to students online. Been doing the latter for about 6 months now.

I applied online through the LOS ANGELES THAI EMBASSY CONSULATE (CALIFORNIA).

1) Submitted Application on Feb 8th (Sat)

- Website said $15k proof, but the app said $16k proof. I submitted $16k proof. Gave them a quick stack of screenshots of my websites in a pdf. A seller's permit for California, my investment account.

2) Requested further documents Feb 18th (Tue end of day)

- They wanted proof of $17,000 usd, Investment portfolios DO NOT count (they specifically expressed that)

- EXTENDED Business Portfolio... (I authenticated my own letter, and signed it with my logo simply saying I'm self employed😅) I spent 3 days compiling 35 pages of financials, pay stubs, remote virtual assistants proof, email marketing campaigns, screenshots, ETC stuff I do-- compressed into a PDF.

- Business Registration (Didn't have one, so I sent my FBN/DBA application. It was pending, and not fully renewed yet)

- Most recent tax return (2024 is the first year in 10, that I have not made a profit. That didn't seem to matter! as long as I had liquid assets and an operation generating income.)

3) Submitted further documentations Feb 24th (Mon morning)

4) Approval Mar 5th (Wed Noon)! 🥳

- E-Visa was emailed to me.

Let me know if you have questions. Thank you all for sharing your stories. I fly out in 3 weeks :)

Hi guys wondering if anyone you have a copy of a formal letter of invitation to Thailand that I could copy or know where i could download load it from ? I was using an informal one for my last 3 entry visa which was accepted but not they want a formal invitation letter 🤕 so any help would be greatly appreciated . And yes I have to apply for each entry visa now

Hello all,

I just concluded a contract with a Thai company and canceled my Non-B visa and work permit today with permission to stay until March 19th. The company staff told me that I can change the visa and extend to Non-O based on marriage.

1. Is that true?

2. Do I do this at CW or Chamchuri Square (where the Non-B was issued)?

3. Can I just get a short extension as I have a business trip in April and can then just come back in and do the normal extension process based on marriage?

Thanks!

Hello I just got appointment for the interview. If everything is going well. How long i need to wait after interview to receive approval ? (i am in vientiane, but all ears about others experience)

If the status changed to pending approval means its approved right? Just have to wait

I printed out and laminated an A6 size copy of the visa. Now it's much more portable and durable.
