What do I need to know about performing as a singer in Thailand for a year?

Darren ********************

She's a singer back home but doesn't say she wants to work as a singer in Thailand?

I'm not sure about Soul music Pam but there are plenty of RnB/Hip Hop bars/clubs in Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket etc. The crowd are usually pretty young though unless it's a tourist club.

Is the DTV visa effective in attracting long-term foreign visitors to Thailand?

Darren ********************

Adjustments maybe but it cannot be scrapped unless they have other affordable options to allure non-retired people to Thailand longer-term. Currently there are none unless you get a non-legit "visa".

I don't know but so many are abusing the visa on that category it's crazy. Suddenly everyone's teeth need attention from a Thai dentist haha. I can't see it being sustainable.

Because there are plenty of other options for a dentist appointment. You can even stay for 3 months as a tourist which is more than enough time to get any dental procedure done.

Darren ********************

No disrespect to you, but I really hope they stop approving DTVs for all dentist appointment applications. It's just madness to expect a 5 year visa based on that.

Will depositing 500,000 baht into my bank account shortly before applying for a visa raise any red flags?

Darren ********************

It depends on the embassy. I did the same as you for London embassy and they were fine with it.
