Participant(e) anonyme I entered the flight number of the last leg of my flight to Thailand and the last airport I was at before embarking for Thailand.

@Paul *******

It asks for the departure date, not the departure flight. At least that is how I interpreted it. "Last port of embarkation" + "Port of arrival", it seems quite clear to me that it refers to the arrival in Thailand.

@Lynn ******

The only reason I could think of - a good one by the way.

@Guillermo ********

I did not read it. I just recognized the picture obviously.

@Guillermo ********

I did not even read your written diarrhea, but it's not me on this picture. I don't even know this person. I took a picture of him in the street, in Tokyo, where I was living at this time. Again, ungrounded assumptions...

@Guillermo ********

I do not have to answer your questions. Mine was approved 3 months ago, my son's last week. I am a business owner and have never backpacked in my life, not even when I was a student. Again, ungrounded assumptions...

おめでとうございます。Can you please confirm if you applied with a sponsorship letter and the bank account(s) of someone else, or if you applied with your own bank account(s)?

@Guillermo ********

You are not the only one who got this visa. Many did without showing income. How come you think it has to be that way just because it is the way you did it?

As for applying (your) logic to understand the requirements, it's not the way it works in Thailand. Some people got this 5-year visa by showing a couple of dental care appointments only. There is no logic to it. You won't go far in Thailand if you think logic has a role to play.

@Guillermo ********

Man, you are a joke. I know of several people who applied with their own bank account, showing 500K+ THB, and who are unemployed. This is most probably what happened in the case of this Japanese applicant you have referred to. You are just talking BS based on some personal, ungrounded assumptions.

EDIT: The only place I have heard of which insists on regular income (even for soft power) is Taipeh.

@Guillermo ********

Have you ever encountered the word "savings"?
