Don't apply in taiwan, I repeat DON'T APPLY IN TAIPEI TAIWAN. The embassy is EXTREMELY strict. You'll ask to add dozens of documents even you apply for soft powers. Taiwan is also well known for making a lot of interviews which can take place 10 days ahead. Don't do my mistake, fly to vietnam or indonesia, save yourself from a lot of issues and sleepless nights

Anonymous participant when I uploaded my picture it stated that it could give issues, I just made it more bright and "white". It came out a green confirm saying that it was respecting the parameters. It has nothing do to with the documentation, actually the first step is checking that your personal data is correct, after that they'll go through your documentation

well, it depends on the documentation you've submitted. If they find something suspicious they might request more proof/documentation and then an interview

hows your visa status right now? Have u sent a new application yet?

I wrote a post just the other day saying to AVOID taipei because they are extremely picky. They want to see that money goes from the company directly in your bank account every month. Do you move any money from the company to your personal bank account (which is the one you've supposed to show as proof for the 500k) or to any other account? I would avoid showing any thai bank account, that would make things even worse

1-3 months before you arrive in thailand is what embassy suggests....

I told them I was going for soft power and this is the reply

When I mailed the embassy (several weeks ago) I got this reply...

@Shandy *******

I also read that especially for those who applied in person in 2024. During the past couple of months they've become really strict and careful besides of asking tons of documentation
