It’s because your income comes from social media most likely and most people on social media focus on topics on their surroundings.

The deal with the visa is to not do any business with Thailand that you would have to on social media and that’s why they keep rejecting you.

 I mean, what were we gonna do live in Thailand and then leave and Photograph only other countries?

Most likely not

So your income would be derived from Thailand and that’s against the visa

What is with your insistence upon not following the very generous guidance for this visa?

Like, why do you wanna push the limit for other people to not get it in the future?

I mean, it’s kind of obvious that you don’t need to be in Thailand to do something that’s online. Why would you need a visa?

Yeah, a lot of people got away with some ham courses, but the thing is they’re getting questioned at the airport, for applying in different countries that have a tendency to produce false documents and not really following the program guidelines and I hope some of them get their visa canceled or tonight entry or FaceTime some sort of hardship for not following the rules like everybody else had to.

I’m really happy to answer anyone’s questions about the legitimate pathway to this visa, but like use some common sense, an online course does not mean that you get a visa to go live in another country and I don’t know what country would really give you that, it’s almost a preposterous thing to ask and it may seem kind of rude, but you have to realize the amount of questions like this that come into this group every single day, the amount of people who don’t realize that the tourist visa and think they have a right to a bank account or whatever it is it gets old

It’s because you applied outside your home country.

it’s not exactly a nomad visa. It’s a destination Thailand visa. Remote work doesn’t mean you move around. You can be a remote worker in your own country.

Just wait for the visa. But applying from a country not your own may face scrutiny by immigration

Yes I got the visa with irregular income but I have a lot in savings.

They don’t want you to stay for a year consecutively that is why they are so picky and they will find a reason to deny you the extension because the visa was not built for you to stay there for years on end it was meant for people to go and come for a reason.

Bc the logic is to save money on atm fees but 24 percent your wages is a lot more lol. You don’t need to pay taxes on the DTV income outside of Thailand only

If you import it there or paid there or use their banking system.
