so what exactly is wrong about what I wrote?

I didn't write she could not work as a Music Therapist... I wrote that it is hard to find a job as a foreigner. And that she needs to find a job where the employer handle documentation for work permit and support in the Non imm. B visa application.

Btw, I am fully aware of the list of restricted/prohibited jobs and the Alien employment act.

It is hard for foreigners to find jobs in Thailand since a lot of proffessions are reserved for Thai citizens... it is not impossible, but hard.

You need to find a job where the employer handle the documentation needed to get a work permit and support your application for a Non immigrant B visa (you need a job to apply for that).

Another option is to find a job outside Thailand that allows you to work remotely from Thailand (or start your own business working online with non-Thai clients). Then you can apply for a DTV (Destination Thailand Visa).

@Andy *******

I remember when it was collected in the airport... However it is now said to be 300 thb and there is some that claim that the delay of the ETA-implementation is due to get this included in the system. I guess we will just have to wait and see...

@Patrick *********

Better or not... you can not get the sticker when applying through e-visa (only used by the embassies/consulates where you must apply in person).

...and soon there will be no stickers in passports since they are all moving to e-visa.

@Andy *******

probably not... it is more likely to be a fee within ETA when that is implemented later on.

@Aake *********

read the previous comments and you might understand his/her situation...

You write "In Australia I would probably keep working doing what I do in NZ"... Does that mean working remotely? If so, you could probably do that in Thailand too. Take a look at DTV (Destination Thailand Visa). That could be an option for you.

I don't have personal experience of it, but I have seen a lot of people recommend Airalo e-sim that you buy online.

@Toni *******

from his post it seems to have been 34 days.

@Lyle ********

you can ask the hotel for a print-out of their report.
