As far as I understand you cannot be an employee of Thai local companies while you're under student visa.

If your freelance work is out of Thailand. It should be okay.

@Joel ******

You mean you plan to submit both your interest account and the one you use regularly, right? I guess it’s fine as long as both accounts are in your sole ownership and you show proof that you can withdraw from your interest account anytime you want, without any restriction.

As far as I understand, the 500,000 THB bank statement is the proof Thai officials require to believe that you can support yourself well while enjoying your stay in Thailand.

So it would be best if you’d include a detailed explanation on the purpose of keeping 500,000 THB in an interest account and separate your regular transactions in another account.

welcome

I filled in 180 days coz it's the number of days one can stay consecutive.

For the guarantor in Thailand I filled in "Myself". I mean, the bank account I submitted for visa is in my sole ownership, so why not.

For the guarantor in Laos (in your case it would be the country you apply from) I just left it black.

Yeah of course. It's not mandatory to have a Thai Bank account. You can show your bank account from your country that has a credit equivalent to 500,000 THB.

Be sure to prepare all the necessary documents. Like an account ownership certificate with stamps and bank manager signature and all.

I think the most important thing is, it should be an account you use regularly.

Just my assumption coz the officer carefully checked my transactions at the end of each month.

Good thing I was using it daily.

I got approved in Vientiane, Laos. I went in on appointment date Dec 11 and approved on Dec 13. (After Dec 20 Thai Embassy in Vientiane will be closed until January 1 to upgrade their system to e-visa application)

My previous visa was in language school.

My employment contract with a Singapore-based company started in October. I submitted my Oct, Nov payslips. But the officer gave them back to me over the counter.

I saw that the most important documents the officer carefully checked were

- Employment contract

- Company verification letter for remote job

- Company registration docs (Singapore ARCA)

- Bank statement (I submitted Thai Bank account. The officer carefully checked at the end of each month transaction. I think it should be an account you are using regularly)

I wrote a neat cover letter "Request for Visa Approval" mentioning my purpose to apply DTV. The officer carefully read it and asked me a few questions about my remote job.

Lucky for me my company supported all the necessary documents and everything went well at the embassy.

I don't know about Taipei. I hope you can try again and get approved.

ကျေးဇူးတင်ပါတယ်ဗျာ

Not sure. I’ve heard that some Thai embassies, like in Vietnam, may accept proof of funds via recent transfers, while others may not. Do you know which embassies are more flexible in this regard?

Or can a guarantee letter from my employer be accepted as proof of funds?

ကျေးဇူးတင်ပါတယ် အစ်ကို။

အစ်ကို တင်ထားတဲ့ post ကို ဝင်ဖတ်ကြည့်တယ်ဗျ

Upwork payslip ‌တွေပါ တွဲတင်ဖို့ကို အစ်ကို ဘယ်လို သိလိုက်တာလဲဗျ

ရက်ကြိုသွားပြီး officer ကို မေးတာလား??

ကျနော် Vientiane Thai Embassy ကို email ပို့ဝာာ reply မလာလို့ပါ။ ကျနော့် remote contract တစ်ခုတည်းနဲ့ အဆင်ပြေနိုင်မလားဆိုတာ မေးချင်တာ email reply မလုပ်တော့ ၂ရက်လောက်ကြိုသွားပြီး သံရုံးထဲဝင်မေးရမလား စဉ်းစားနေတာ။
