The stamp indicates the admitted length of stay (here 90 days) based on the single entry Non-O visa. The red stamp itself is NOT a visa; the visa itself has changed its status to USED and is not valid anymore. By the way, I got exactly the same red admission stamp and handwritten remark but with 1 day earlier because I entered Thailand on 11 July.

The VFS Website explains each needed document in detail. The obligation letter is a must.

I arranged many German visa invitations successfully and none of the Thai visitors were "employed", no employment contract, no holiday letter, ... They lived in a rural area with the typical agriculture-related jobs. And some of them are elder--already in pension receiving age.

Strange. My local DLT extended my Thai Driving Licence having either a Tourist Visa or Non-Immigrant O Visa (NOT the extension based on that) each time without problems.

@Jim *******

Concerning Thailand, tax residency is defined solely by the total number of days a visitor is staying in Thailand per year. If living less than 180 days, he/she is not a Thai tax resident.

No passport needed for German nationals to enter France, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, Luxemburg, Netherlands, Tschechia, to name a few.

Robert McBrain No, this is an incorrect statement.

No, and I was never forced to sign an Insurance contract.
