Hey group!

I’m applying for the 6 month ME tourist visa from my home country in January, and could use some guidance from someone whose done this before. For some background, I have a fresh passport, haven’t been to Thailand since 2015, will have the bank statement needed. So...

- did you get a feel for what the employment letter needs to state? And why they want it

- were you questioned about your employment at all? E.g. “will this company still be employing you while you’re in Thailand/will your job be waiting when you get back?”

- Based on your experience do you have a feel for which would be best - getting a letter of employment from my retail job stating that they’ll employ me again when I’m back, or registering myself as a sole trader travel writer so that I’m self employed and can provide myself a letter but no self assessment?

I’d appreciate any guidance, but if what you’re writing is speculation/just something you’ve heard please make that clear, as theres lots of inaccurate info already out there and I’m really looking for reliable, first hand experiences ideally! ☺️ Thank you! Xo
