I have a question. I arrive in Bali tonight and want to apply for the DTV today or early tomorrow.

I already have all the paperwork that is needed for the soft power Muay Thai, but I have one more question about income.

I don’t work at the moment (due to personal reasons), but as soon as I get the DTV I will get back to it (online)

So I must say that I am unemployed, but I do have sufficient funds for the DTV and able to show for 3 persons if needed (my kids will be added as dependent when mine is approved)

However how would I do this with the application?

I do get benefits from my home country every month and extra every 3 months, which has been enough to live by the past 6 months (without having to dig in to the 500k)

Good afternoon all.

Firstly) When applying for soft power visa, is it acceptable to write occupation as unemployed? I have the said amount of savings and every other document. Just apprehensive about the unemployed part.

Secondly) it asks when I will leave Thailand and what is my flight info. I have no plans and no flight as I intend on staying for 6 months and will purchase an exit flight closer to the time. Any help on what to write on this application would be greatly appreciated

Thank you 🙏

Muay thai Soft power DTV - I have the 500k and all the docs required but no income for few years.

Is the ''unemployed'' occupation a red flag for them ?

Do we better have to put freelancer instead ?

Any similar situation ?

When applying at London embassy for soft power DTV Muay Thai it says employment status i am currently unemployed with no income but substantial savings in crypto/bank

even when you choose the unemployed option it still asks for annual income any advice what to put .. there is a “no income” option or a “below $20,000” and other options with higher income brackets

Not sure what to put if i put below 20,000 will they want to see further proof of that income even if it is soft power

will i risk being denied the visa if i choose the no income option even though it is soft power and i have the 500,000 available

Hello all, my girlfriend who is from Indonesia is planning on applying for the DTV (using soft power for cooking classes) in Jakarta and she is not employed. I support her and pay for everything for us but am wondering if that will be a problem in getting approved if she is unemployed? I do plan on making the deposit of $15,000 into her account (and plan to be added/named on her account as well) and also wonder if we should wait three months before applying or if she could get approved with just one or two months of statements.

I’m taking an extended career break. Does putting unemployed affect approval chances? I meet the financial reqs for soft power a few dozen times over.

Dear Members,

I want to apply for Tourist Visa single entry. I am unemployed at the moment. Of course, I have savings for my journey in Thailand.

My last job was from 2011 to 2020 in a trade company. What should I write as an answer to this question at the application form:

Occupation (specify present position and name of employer)

Thank you very much.

I'm about to extend my 30 days arrival stamp that I got from crossing the Cambodian border. However, I do have a pending overstay from my previous extension of stay based on employment (due to my employer mistakenly putting a sooner date than my resignation date), my question is am I going to pay any overstay fine at IT square Lak Si?My current stamp will run out on Monday.
