what i did was i got the cheapest plan from this cell carrier “red pocket” and its 11$ per month. that has let me keep my cell # and when im in thailand or wherever, you just add an e-sim from whatever data company is where you are. so i have 2 sims right now, 11$ for the american one and that keeps my #, and i have Saily data in thailand for 10$ also per month. when i go back to america to visit, i just use the red pocket service, no issues. good luck

@Michi *******

both at fascino pharmacy here in pattaya

weekends aren’t processing days so factor that in. also if they asked for more docs that’s fine, you can always call or message your consulate’s IG page and ask for any clarifications before sending in your new docs to make sure you are giving what they are asking. good luck

def sign up for a course where they have successfully helped people get the visa. va income doesn’t count as remote income; we were denied for that and our rental property income. that was NY embassy though. not sure of every embassy’s rules

i was rejected for workcation, and switched to soft power, after i sent a message to the IG page for my consulate and they said i can submit without paying for a new app. i would call and message them before you give up and get concrete clear concise directions and steps

Anonymous participant they also have insta accounts. i contacted the new york consulate and they responded immediately and i ask questions thru message on insta. i would def find out why, and it could have been a mistake or misunderstanding. if its thru workcation, then maybe submit a soft power set of documents but ask first if that’s ok. that’s what i did. i was declined thru remote work; i messaged the IG page and asked if i can submit proof of fighting class enrollment and they said yes so i did and waiting to hear back

if you do go for it via the workcation remote work route, and they deny it, just switch to soft power with that current app also you can call your embassy or message them on IG for questions before you apply

1) no one knows yet but 180 days hits you have to border run or pay for extension, max 360 days per year out if 365 also.

2) on the visa online app, you’ll see if your home country shows up as eligible for e visa

3) highly recommend getting 6+ months paid for thru a gym that has gotten people their dtv’s. there’s no rules on how much you attend or how many times per week. the gym will send you certain documents and you send that in with your app all in 1 pdf (3mb max size so may need to compress. there’s free websites to make your single pdf file and also to compress the file if needed to fit under 3mb)

i think you should apply with the remote work. i applied solely with real estate income and was denied

@Moreno *******

i’m still at home, my app was fine except my workcation part. my income/business doesn’t count. i contacted the NY embassy on instagram actually they sent a reply really quick. i asked with my active application going, can i submit my documents for the gym via email to the email they sent me. and she said yes so im gonna go for it
