If you are not married your support is irrelevant. There is no minimum income requirement so if she can show she works remotely, even with a modest income, she should be OK but will of course also need the 500k baht or equivalent in her bank as well. If she will work remotely from inside Thailand soft power is not appropriate, she'll need to stick with workation.

If you are applying under soft power you can be asked to show how you will be able to support yourself for the period of the visa without working

Not only must you be in Vietnam to apply at HCMC but you must be in an area of Vietnam served by that consulate.

be careful if your plans involve multiple border bounces using visa exempt entries. You won't get many of these.

@Laura *********

no, you will need a visa

Anonymous participant what a ridiculous comment. I guess you also intend to work remotely while you are in Thailand, also illegal.

If your friend was denied entry last month trying to enter from a nearby country is likely to end up with the same result. Thai immigration systems are all linked

@Laura *********

yes that is the only border crossing to Myanmar but its a long way from Pai

@Justin *******

visa exempt and tourist visas have the same requirements

@Justin *******

not just for visa exempt tourists
