thank you

sounds like it’s better to come back to Thailand on extension and to pay an agent here… for a long-term visa ☺️

Actually I think no 2 in your list isn’t quite applicable for freelancers as they do not need permission to work remotely …

thank you! thank you! I have a couple of signed freelance agreements—not tied to my country of residence but rather international—and some published pieces. I don’t always issue invoices; sometimes, it’s just a direct payment. I’m wondering, why exactly is this type of visa so accessible? Is it meant for data collection?

thank you! I am heading to Penang tomorrow however, the application is via Thai Immigration online anyway, as there are no personal appointments in Malaysia. You mentioned “more”—what more would they need? And how bad is it to get rejected? Will I still be able to enter Thailand on an extension?

Congratulations! I’m wondering, isn’t it too much to require 500,000 THB plus six months of income proof and a tax statement? As a freelancer, I can prove the final amount needed, but I don’t have six months of payslips, employment verification, business registration, or similar documents. Does this mean I won’t be able to successfully apply if I only provide examples of my work, a couple of freelance agreements (signed but without stamps or verification), and the required savings amount?
