wow, that sounds wrong to say the least. Why would IO's do that? Would this be because of a headache with remote work verification?

DTV_Begpacker you’re just an insecure girl lol why would you even look me up? Hahaha, yeah I’d definitely pay $600 to not have to go to Malaysia for $200 and waste a day or two on not necessary travelling rather than get it done in&out via an agency

Anonymous participant correct. Per my experience stable income for 6-12 months is required. You can still do based on soft power Muay Thai, then most don’t even require income

may be correct, yes. All I’m saying is that just having 5-year sticker doesn’t guarantee that you may enter Thailand for 5-years. Because not having a course after 6-months caused visa cancellation, for whether one case or more that we don’t know about. That’s my entire point.

yes my wife is an agent, the guy came to her needing help with retirement, but he doesn’t meet financial requirements for a retirement visa (he has 500k though) even for a mix 500k+pension it’s not enough as his pension is very low. It’s the reason he paid for a 6-months course to get a DTV visa thinking it will last for 5 years because he was told so. When being questioned after 6 months if he still does Muay Thai he said no and that he doesn’t want to, and they canceled his visa, let him in for 60 days, told next time come on a retirement one, but he can’t get it either for the reasons above. Does it make sense now?
