I’m just curious how much they paid for his sponsorship

How does this compare to, say, Line Pay?

Thank you for this.

I'll be applying from HCMC next week, hopefully. I am a bit nervous though. I have the necessary funds. Moved more than enough from index funds in my UK Vanguard S&S ISA that I sold off (thankfully before the crash). However, I am nervous about two things:

1. I am currently resolving a pending dissolution on my ltd company due to a tax issue. I'm not sure how fast the UK government is to resolve this kind of thing, so if the embassy checked the company status, it wouldn't look good.

2. My income hasn't been very impressive for the last like 10 months, but I do have some regular contracted work now. It should look better and more consistent now, but I don't want to wait any longer for this visa. I am tired of being forced to use visa exemption periods in various countries.

Fingers crossed and I'll probably post an update in this group if I succeed.

And where did you apply? I’m about to apply from HCMC and I don’t know how long to book. Watching.

no, Uranus

on a side note, I can’t imagine it being strictly enforced to be honest. Even with the majority of their own population it’s not.

I think the more definitive answer is what I found online:

If you are living in Thailand for at least 180 days and are earning income from overseas, you will be classed as a Thai tax resident and you will need to pay income taxes in Thailand.

but people working remotely on these visas usually spend money on their card from accounts abroad

@Gregory ******

elaborate on home country sanctioned?
