@James *******

Thank you!

@Steven ********

they didn't ask for anything outside of what I provided on the requested items per the website application. If you are working a job online they will want a signed letter from your supervisor/boss that you can work remotely and recent pay stubs.

@Ellen ******

You're very welcome!

Sure! I noted that I was the sole owner of my LLC and explained that my business operates remotely and all clients and operations are based entirely within the United States not serving any clients or conducting any business within Thailand. I outlined my role with the company and highlighted that it was all done remotely. I explained my income sources and referenced the bank statements attached to my cover letter and the state llc documents etc.

I applied on at the NYC consulate and my docs are still pending.

Thanks all! I wasn't worried about the 10K baht fee I was thinking it would get rejected and I wouldn't be able to reapply due to the rejection. I appreciate all the replies!

@James *******

reading the other responses on similar posts have me concerned now lol. The representative at the consulate was very clear in telling me that I could travel for the week but I really don't want to risk my pending application.

A. Nony Mous Thank you. After I posted the question I did feel a bit sillly (to your point of how would they even know). I appreciate your reply!

@Wannikea ********

I applied August 15th so very recently. I did call and speak directly with the NY Consulate office and they mentioned there is no concern about me flying out of USA to Africa and back while my visa application is pending.

@Nick *****
