Just go to Laos or Malaysia or somewhere/ anywhere , sleep for one/two night(s) and come back!

Just get a cheap bus ticket (Hat Yai - Georgetown, Udon-Vientiane etc.) online. No need to be air ticket. You will still need to fill onwards ticket info in your digital online arrival card.

You can apply from anywhere in the world (as long as outside Thailand) regardless of your nationality. Only thing is you need to show proof of you actually being in the country that you are applying from. Just provide an entry stamp on your pp or boardingpass or air ticket that you used to fly into that country (in your case Turkey).

They request one from me. That's what I did. Basically, I created a resume. I listed my job and duties. Then I pasted links that showcase my freelance works. Of there is no link of your works, just explain your job duties in details with whatever evidences that might support it. Also, include a LinkedIn link on that resume.

There are a lot of templates for many types of professional portfolio. So mine turns out to be just one page of PDF file with all those info and links. Will vary for you, of cuz. Good luck. I got approved.

no. As long as you can provide your accomodations reservations and entry stamp into Malaysia, you can. I have done that.

I applied in KL. They wanted extensive additional documents. In my case, they even wanted my freelance job's company certification and employment contract notarized by my home country's embassy. Along with proof of my works.

Fortunately, a lot of my work activities are online and in media. So I just prepare a CV like page with all the links.

Then, I went to the motherland's embassy and get all the work related docs (in English) notarized with Embassy seal.

Then, I got approved.
