I see that you now can only travel to thailand on visa exemption two times in a calendar year (not 12 months), I have been there tree times this year and are traveling again in march, since that is a new calendar year, my previous trips don’t count anymore?
Soft power “how you intend to support yourself and future plans”
Hello everyone, I am applying for a 6 months Muay Thai course.
I practice this sport in Europe too, therefore a soft power DTV is perfect for my goals.
I currently have 800K in bank account, so over the 500K requested.
Plus I get every month from normal part time work in my country about 1000 euros.
If the embassy asks “how you intend to support yourself”, is it okay to simply say savings? Connecting it to their second question “what’s your plan after the 6 months course” basically I would like to keep practicing Muay Thai in Thailand, but I will probably need to come back to my home country for at least 3 months to finish my job contract. I am focusing on opening a business for online income for the future, but right now a normal job is the only thing I can do.
Is it okay for the application to state savings & come back to my country? Or should I say something different in the Cover Letter like saving & apply for a new Muay Thai course?
So, here's my situation. I'm a remote worker with completely foreign income of around 3600 usd monthly. I work for a family business but it's not incorporated and more importantly I don't have an employment contract. I have 600k in an American account in my name and a great resume as a software engineer. I'm American and have no overstays or issues, although I did once get denied entry for having two active visas. I also stayed 2 years on ED visa and mastered the content. What do you guys think I should do? DTV remote worker or soft power? I want to take Muay Thai anyway and will probably sign up for it one way or the other.
: With all the recent DTV updates and reports about entry issues into Thailand, I’m a DTV visa holder travelling in February for 10 days. Is it possible to skip the DTV process and just enter on a normal tourist visa to avoid any complications?”
I'm from the U.S. and received an non-o visa from the Royal Thai Embasy in L.A. last October. MY flight was delayed and it expired before I arrived in Thailand. Can I re apply for it here in Thailand. I've been married to a Thai national for 5 years and we have all the documents with us. Someone said I have to leave to re apply??? Why?
