@Gerry *******
Totally agree. The LTR category is absolutely ridiculous in that sense.

@Vitaly *******
NO. For the LTR visas, they don't deal with immigration for 5 years apart from the 12 month reports.

@Jim **********
yeah but with an annual visa, no need to leave the country every 6 months.

@Wannikea ********
You can. You can leave prior to the end of the grace period. Then when you return you receive a new stamp and the reporting period resets.

0 USD or something like that (there are 3 distinct categories).

Anonymous participant I haven't either. Generally speaking, when it comes to freelancers/business owners, you could provide a couple of invoices and show the incoming transfer on a bank statement. Nothing much more than that is asked for.

BUT if you leave Thailand no later than 97 days after having first entered, the 90 day reporting period resets! That's because they won't or can't fine you until after 7 days have elapsed following the 90 days because that's the grace period.

There's no way they would move the date forward. November 19 it is. If things don't go according to plan, it could be delayed. It certainly won't be earlier than that though.

Anonymous participant No, it's not a rumor. Everyone needs 500K in their account no matter where they apply. Supplying pay slips or tax returns is either a rumor or something some applicants have been asked for at a small number of consulates in western countries only.
