Sounds good. 😋 More like a cold weather dish, though.

After 3 months of cooking class you should be a great chef. Looking forward to a Thai Visa Advice group dinner. 😅

Depends on the consulate in your jurisdiction. UK consulate asked for a least 3 months booked courses. At least they used to initially.

Should be fine. No minimum income is asked. Just the at least 500k THB in savings + a work contract mentioning you are free to work remotely from Thailand / or a company registered in your name.

If you are still interested: the newly launched DTV visa should exactly meet your needs.

Good question. Still not fully clear. It seems that some consulates in 3rd / neighboring countries do accept applications from foreigners / non-residents, others don’t. I have yet to see / hear of the first success story of someone successfully having gotten a paper sticker DTV in Laos, Malaysia, Cambodia, or Vietnam. Maybe this question will be answered in a few days when people report their experiences.

@Rowan ********

Either proof of a registered company in your name, or a current letter from an employer stating the freedom to work remotely from Thailand seem to be the most commonly accepted ways so far.

@Peter ******

If you will have to file a tax return remains to be seen. Maybe in the future everybody staying longer than 180 days will have to.

Else, just pick a land border alternatively. It won’t matter what way or border you enter Thailand in the end once you have the visa.

They used to actually ask for proof of a booked flight by means of an uploaded ticket. Now, with the DTV, there is no such upload requested anymore in the eVisa system. You still have to fill in a flight number in the form, though. I guess they just re-used the same web form. You could try and just submit a flight number of a flight you aim at taking, imho. Good chance they won’t ask for additional proof. Some consulates might however still request such proof - I guess to ensure that one is actually applying with the “right” consulate in the country one is flying to Thailand from.
