Can you move to Thailand without ever visiting first?

Kim **********

Most like Thailand. It’s an amazing place but… I can’t imagine putting my eggs in a basket I’ve never seen. That said, rent your place out… see if you can work remotely. Don’t burn bridges etc.

Agent required my signed lease in hand. We aren’t moving in til Tuesday but I had to go sign early and get a copy. But then it took only 20 min of signing papers and I was good to go

Do I need to show an onward ticket upon arrival in Thailand with a multiple entry tourist visa?

Kim **********

I bought a mostly refundable ticket when we came to Bangkok in July. No one asked. Just went to Singapore yesterday for 4 hrs. Was holding an evisa but nothing in my passport yet. No one asked anything.

What should I do if my LTR visa application in Thailand is rejected without explanation?

Kim **********

That happened with mine as well, and then when I sent them an email asking what happened, they sent me one back, saying that they couldn’t tell me and any further communication would be ignored. I ended up consulting with a visa agency who gave me the most likely reason.
