My application got approved after three weeks of applying, I applied in Munich Germany , as self employed portfolio manager and Author, submitted documents: professional portfolio, approve of address ( they requested National ID for that as in German ID your home address is written in back of the ID card) ,

Official portfolio PDF document from my Broker showing my holdings (worth around 7 million Thai B ), a photo and a copy of my passport. After submitting in two weeks they requested Business registration (Gewerbeanmeldung) I replied with an official letter that I don’t have a business registration in Germany and explained my work nature that doesn’t require a formal business registration and as how flexible it is that perfectly fit for a digital nomad , as alternatives for the business registration I submitted my income reports since I started managing my portfolio and my tax return reports showing that im paying taxes and I am legit regarding my income and my Tax record.

After my application experience I believe that it really depends on the consulate where you are applying and their flexibility. Not all are for 100% the same.

Hello,

I'd like to ask for advice, especially from fellow Germans in this group :)

I'm currently in Germany getting ready to go back to Thailand. Since my work permit and non b have expired, I need to get new ones. The Thai Embassy in Berlin gave me a list of documents I need to submit in order to get a non b visa here. One of the required documents is the WP3/Work Permit or a document which states that I'm approved to get one when I'm in Thailand and it has to be issued by the Thai Labour Department. My school spoke to the Labour Department and they said I need to submit the medical check and the police background check (along with other documents of course) and I'm really confused since I also have to submit a police background check at the Thai Embassy in Berlin and I'm not sure if it's enough to get one only in English, same with the medical certificate.

However, long story short question: Are there people here in this group - especially Germans - who got a non b and needed to submit a work permit in order to get it as well? I'd like to know how you got the WP3 when you weren't in Thailand and what documents you needed to submit - especially as a teacher. Thank you in advance / Vielen Dank im Voraus! :)
