FWIW, I didn’t even have to show a flight back on my Non O visa application, and Japan AirLines (from LAX) said they don’t ask to see one, I actually asked them if I needed one after reading some comments on here about about people getting questioned.

Yes, used an eSIM last year because I still had service and was switching between ATT service for WiFi calling in airport mode in the hotel and eSIM when out and about.

if you go to 7-11, they have multiple “tourist” SIM cards. Check pic below.

Maybe by the phone you put it in? Wasn’t sure.

@Jean-Maurice *******

it actually came in 2 days before departure, so it worked out perfectly. Not sure if it was luck or as someone on here said, they plan distributing it as close to your departure as possible to give you more time. Either way…👍👍👍

It doesn’t say you have to be a ‘successful’ digital nomad. 😁

I read on one of the forums that they did respond to one applicant wanting several additional pieces of information including 2023 tax return, it might have been on here if you scroll back or do a search at the top of the page, it was in the last few days that I read it. He was the only person that mentioned it. Another applicant got theirs in a matter of days, prob depends on where you apply.

I would have been more confident if I hadn’t applied with only a 2 week cushion, lol. And it’s good for 90 days with a 30 day extension possible? Even if you go out of Thailand (after being there initially for let’s say 30 days), for a month then come back the clock keeps on ticking, so only 30 days left or it freezes while you’re gone? Do you know what additional procedures I would have to do to get a retirement visa, other than the bank account? Thanks.

Right on, It came in 2 days before I left! Not too bad at all.

Yes on spam folder. 🤞Thanks.
