I will have that because I’ve been following all the advice in this group but maybe I’m just a little nervous even tho it will be a clean application, just overly cautious that’s all

the rules say per year so I’m thinking if I return after Jan 1 I might be ok, I’ve never been pulled before but because of the strict rules I think I might have just got an over zealous officer. I did 2 trips to Laos this year but that was for plants to a supplier and 2 trips back to South Africa, I’ve never done a “border run”

I used to work with a Non-B and work permit up until June this year then started my own business and cancelled everything legally through my Dubai company when I resigned so my passport has so many stamps in it which could look confusing and dodgy.

Thanks for the info, I’m busy getting all my documentation together, I’m also applying for the Workation DTV, I’m a director and 50% owner of our business in SA and my partner will work from there and I will work from Thailand, it’s also easier traveling to the countries we source from. Any extra advice or tips are greatly appreciated.

Thanks again

Anonymous participant 419 just a quick one, what if I have an existing Thai bank account and am in the process of preparing docs for a DTV visa, is this an issue?
