U don't need a visa to get health insurance 😅

It's still way over a year so I don't think they'd care about your cover letter at all, don't worry

I brought cash with me, once in awhile I go to superrich to get the best money, go to a truemoney ATM and put in my account 30k. When the money in my account is about to end, I repeat the process. I know it's possible to top it up with a local bank, heard it's not possible to do it with an international card but I've never done it

They want to see the papers, that's all. Once you get the visa, nobody's gonna check whether you live in the place you stated on your visa application or not. The embassy in Malaysia has the reputation of being really strict, I wouldn't f*** around with their requirements but f

Give them EXACTLY what they asked for

correct. I highly suggest you to unlock the advance account, you'll be able to pay bills, pay online shopping and platform, get a virtual Thai debit card, 30 free pay scan to private and unlimited pay scan to business accounts, can transfer money on bank accounts and get a qr which people can use to transfer money to you. It's the closest thing to a bank without having a bank

I brought cash with me which I use to top up true money. I've heard it's possible to withdraw with your credit card at the bank without paying the 200something baht commission (but I'm not totally sure), with that u can top up your true money. I believe you already updated to advance user with your dtv, didn't you?

I asked my taiwanese bank to provide me all the Bank statement with movements for 3 months (it was done on the spot in 5mins). Anyways, they pretty much want to see your salary going in the bank. I'd suggest you to highlight on your pdf all the transactions of salary going in. About the rental I'd suggest to ask your partner to provide you the original contract and a cover letter where the partner states that both of you will live under the same roof. That should be more than enough.

I asked my boss if she could do that and she replied it was ok. I had waited for a month till I did what I wrote above and got it done in 10seconds. I really don't understand what the difference would be, as soon as it's signed there won't be any difference 🙄🙄🙄

Anonymous participant 839 well, there was an article on the Bangkok post dew months ago claiming the vast majority of Thai people have less than 40k baht in their account so I don't feel we're much more poor than Thai 😅

Just write a cover letter stating that you are employed and u are allowed to work from remote in particular from Thailand. Print it out and bring it to your boss asking for sign and stamp.
