HD is a VIDEO standard, not a PHOTO standard. Just make sure it’s a clear photo.

Also, file size is irrelevant. A jpg that is 3MB can be compressed to 150KB with no visible loss. 👍

International airline terminals are much like maritime law, no visas required if remaining within an international terminal.

The spirit of the tm30 is between the property owner and Thailand. Anyone staying less than 90 days I believe don’t need to concern themselves. But be respectful of the property owner attempting to do what is required of them. Some don’t. 😉

Dude, don’t post an email address on Facebook!

Related, I've seen many things (like pgtips) and then they're gone! Maybe they'll be back, hard to say? So my suggestion would be if you do locate anything you want to make sure you have....buy surplus inventory. Teabags will keep a long time, so stock up.

The interesting part is when you eventually realize something you assumed would be available to later discover it is not....been there, done that! 🤣

@David ********

said this before, the OA insurance is not expensive, especially compared to the amount of money I made as interest vs sitting in a Thai bank account. The additional interest (offsetting the insurance costs) paid my rent for close to 6 months.

@Hussain ******

okay. So it sounds like tax records/filings maybe all you have to offer?

They create criteria that totally misses some situations. Great example. DTV is sort of a focus on freelancers, but most freelancers don’t have an employer. 🤷‍♂️

It sounds like you really need to speak with someone at the embassy to clarify what will satisfy the criteria?

@Butch ******

from what they’ve said, it’s electronic chief. 😉

@Hussain ******

contract work is indirect employment. So agreement amount pages and endorsement pages should work.

Make sure you clarify you’re working as an ‘independent contractor’.

Not knowing your country of origin, is there any government based paperwork to evidence you’re have an income?

They are looking for security you will not be a burden on Thailand.

I can’t defend sometimes what they ask doesn’t make sense or relevant. But if you want the ticket?

Bank statement. How many months did you give, I gave a full year.

How are you showing income? How is income attained?

Do you have a job or some other means? Depending, maybe DTV isn’t the right visa?
