@Boki *******
Yes, but residence can be temporary. People already in Thailand go to Laos or Vietnam and apply from there.

@Boki *******
nevertheless, I've been told that when applying for the soft power with seminar through Spain, they deny the visa. When applying from a different country, they grant the visa.

Anonymous participant Thanks, I may have to look at applying in a country neighboring Thailand. Seems a safer option than doing it from Spain.

Good to hear it got approved. Under which category did you apply? Was it for work or soft power? I've heard the Madrid embassy is strict on the soft power one and am in Spain myself planning to apply.

@Greg *******
Please don`t take it from me, but I hope you`ll take it from somebody at the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs that your statement is incorrect on the 180 days.

I might well be, unlike others, I never claim to know it all, but there were incorrect statements on the 180 days, so I simply clarified that part. As long as that is okay for you as well! 😉,

@Greg *******
I think he is asking about both the length of stay and the tax issue. 😉 There has already been some answers on the tax questions, but incorrect answers regarding the length of stay. So, just correcting those, if that's okay with you.

The rule is not 180 days per year. When you leave the country and come back, this can be on the same day even, you get the next 180-day stamp in your passport.
