ahh okay I understand! Best of luck finding the right plan for your situation!🙏

Do you have to do strictly phone calls or are you able to do a wifi/data based plan?

I have personally used AIS (for years) and I get their yearly plan — 360 days at 4mbps for unlimited data, which is around 85USD per year for unlimited internet at fair speeds. If you want it to be 6mpbs, it’s around 100USD per year.

On this plan, I can hotspot my computer and take a zoom call.

They also have 6 month options and smaller.

Just go to an AIS shop and get the cheap SIM card and buy this “internet on-top” service. It’s the most inexpensive and good cell service I’ve found.

Anonymous participant best of luck to you!🙏 I hope you get it!

Anonymous participant and honestly I wouldn’t worry too much about the labor laws. The embassy staff are not immigration police. They care more about the paychecks and as many contracts and invoices as you can provide. Don’t really care about where the work was done from my understanding.

Do make sure you get a letter from your company / client that certifies you are working for them though and state in the letter that the work is remote work

Anonymous participant okay!! Perfect. Provide 6 months of statements of getting paid from European company. They will ask you specifically to circle / highlight the payments from your company into your account

And I had all the documentation of previous work and certification letters from current international employer and previous Thai employer.

They literally told me to come back in 6 months. Such a waste of time and money for me.

@Rob ********

it’d not about it. I had been working legally in Thailand for 3 years. Had way more than 500k in bank. But new job and only had one paid invoice from current remote work position. Be really really really careful. They want 6 months of consistent invoices from *current* contract.

I went to Taipei mid December and got denied twice with everything in order and working now for an Austrian company. They REALLY didn’t care.

Please don’t do Taipei they’re incredibly strict and want 6 months of invoices from your current contract
