If my flight arrives in Bangkok at 11:35 PM, will that affect the start date of my 60-day visa?

Ruth *******

I’m sure you would not be the first to do this. However, an 11:35 arrival time does not mean that’s when you’ll actually arrive. They sometimes pad the times.

Why is the LTR Visa in Thailand failing to attract its target number of applicants?

Ruth *******

were you actually declined? There are other methods for showing payment other than tax returns. They just prefer tax returns. I’m in the process of trying to work this out with them for other income, but they say it can be done.

I’ll add that I think it’s absurd that a couple/family can come on an $80K salary and be considered “wealthy” and a solo person has the same salary requirement. Make it make sense. 🤣

again, I don’t disagree. However, the point is that they’re not trying to attract the “average” people, no matter how you slice it. He was complaining about the $80K requirement. I was addressing THAT complaint.

@Andrea ********

. “80k is a very high salary in Germany far above the average salary.” - that’s why it’s a WEALTHY Global Citizen’s visa. 🤦‍♀️. For better or worse, it’s not intended for close to the average citizen of even foreign nations.

I have not worked in Thailand. I would not be surprised if that mutual loyalty still exists. The problem may simply be one of cultural differences.
