it has the less abuse as they really go deep into the financials of the applicants. With the soft options you could go for cooking school for a month and potentially stay in thailand for 5 years . I really dont think this is sustainable at least not in its current form πŸ™

This sounds all over the place as the foundation of this visa is that your income is expected to come from sources abroad at all times. Other gurus here have challenge me as of how do i come up with this information. Really easy I know how to read and clearly understand the scope of this visa. Without knowing the post and the circunstances on which you applied it will be difficult to give you advise. The moment you MENTION THAILAND AS A SOURCE OF INCOME IN MY WORLD YOUR AUTOMATICALLY DISQUALIFIED. If you want to work in thailand there are a bunch of visas you can apply to just not dtv. God have some mercy with your application πŸ™

Its the fundamentals in your story assuming you are taking the business owner staycation route. They want to see a structure and again you are not there just your documents. Did you do the cover letter explaining why you think you fit in for this visa. Does your company allow you to wotk in thailand. Are you your own boss. Have you had any recent big deposits into your account. What embassy is doing your paperwork ?

or you can pay the 220 fees. This visa again is a tourist visa just lets you stay 180 days. If you dont want to depend on a thai like you are saying get the proper visa SPEND THE BIG BUCKS and save all the trouble. For me i dont use cash that much so to each of their own . This works for me πŸ™
