@Don ****

so, in the same comment where you accuse people of bullying, even though no one has bullied anyone, you then call them stupid… interesting. As we say in sxm, boooooiiii

If I understand this correctly…

You are not a remote worker.

You applied as a remote worker at an embassy known for being strict.

You don’t understand why you were rejected.

Is this a fair summary?

You must apply in the country you are currently in…

@Klee *************

it’s your decision what to apply for, but it’s the Thai immigration’s business to decide if you picked the right one

No, it is through the local embassy website and you need to be in that country. Just that the application is online.

people with 6 month courses are being told to do it on a tourist visa. I don’t know how they’d justify 2 weeks. The point of the visa is allow long term engagement with the priority cultural programs like cooking and Muay Thai etc

@Alex ******

yep - already in touch now 😬

@Wannikea ********

give it a rest

@Wannikea ********

you’re repeating really basic stuff I’ve known long before joining this group, and it’s unclear why, or if you’re confusing me with someone else. I’ve been studying the various visas and requirements for months, and read through posts on this group (and several others) extensively. It seems you don’t understand the question or maybe English isn’t your first language. In any case, you aren’t being helpful or adding value. Just saying “it varies by embassy” is repeating the obvious. Yes, we all know that… now I’m asking specific individuals about their durations and at which embassy they were successful and where they had problems… I live in SEA so can go to multiple embassies and trying to find the best path…

@Wannikea ********

the question is not a generic one about soft power, it is specific to the length of muy Thai training and the probability to success. As you have seen in the answers, it seems to vary by embassy and there has been good feedback. I’m rather glad I asked.
