An advantage of the e-visa, indeed. Before, when there were paper based visa stuck in one’s passport … it was hard to make the immigration officer understand that you want to safe that one for later and enter on a visa exemption, first. Now we can use the print out e-visa more strategically in line with what you mentioned.

I doubt, though, that the LTR Remote Worker visa requires the WP46 form you linked. That is for Thai companies to hire foreign staff.

@Till *****

Yes. The requirement to have a work contract with either a publicly listed company or a private company with combines revenue of at least 150m USD is "nuts", indeed, as it excludes many (if not most) otherwise qualified remote workers with high income. Most of those big, traditional companies would not allow their employees to work remotely from abroad. So, yes, for the many nomads, one can only hope that this criteria will be revised (or completely get rid of) in the near future. Thailand really should not care what type of company people get their money from - as long as they can demonstrate sufficient income.

Possible on any visa. If you don't have a work permit, you would need to get a residence certificate from the immigration office, though.

Thanks for sharing those insights, mate. I might send them my collected documents as well to have them do a pre-check.

Nice. So you are on your way. What kind of proof did you send in regarding your current employer? A letter from them confirming you work there? And how did you proof your yearly income above 80k over the past two years - some tax statement?

@Brandon ***********

Have you seen the list of required documents? Quite some documents to gather and send in:

They said they were in talks about being able to get the visa issued at local immigration offices, yes. But you would certainly be able to get the visa at their One Stop Service Center in Bangkok, at the original fee of 50k baht. So no need to bother with a consulate overseas, then. May I ask which of the categories you will apply for? Are they helpful thus far?

Nice.
