I’m retired I’ve done AI search and it says there’s a little known about “purpose of visit” drop down section other than soft power and workcation, “financially independent” it says many retirees have made successful applications via this route. Is anyone else aware of this or successfully applied using this method please ? TIA

I was looking at the soft power DTV application and saw that it is asking for employment details. While I am technically still employed until November, I feel I should say I am unemployed as that is what I'll be once I move to Thailand. Thoughts? My employer wouldn't provide me with a letter saying I'm allowed to work abroad.

Seemed odd to me that they're asking for employment details for the soft power DTV.

I read stories of people living back to bac tourist visa, ED visa etc for years. Then bam they get denied entry. Claim they don't need to work (i.e. financially independent) so wonder if they got elite visa would they still risk getting denied entry? Anyone ever hear of someone with the Thai Elite being denied entry?
