Anonymous participant email them and ask. Only they can tell you.

Yes as long as you can meet the same conditions if checked on reentry then it’s fine. Which is why the soft route is not such a great idea I don’t think.

Every DLT is different as is every Imigration center. So worth checking locally what you can and can’t do.

Samui allows resident certificate the week you arrive even on tourist visa as long as you have a TM30

Unlikely to succeed. Go elite visa and be done with it.

@Holp *****

because it was issued by UK, which is what you need to put. I have seen it before on replacement passport as place of issue being different to issuing country. It’s the issuing country that has to be used and NOT the place.

If you had issued in a different country to your home Courtney you HAVE to put your home country. This is one of the reasons they can reject for what you said.

@Stuart ********

my bad, yeah residence cert, in samui it’s free but wait 7 days for it to be issued.

Anonymous participant it’s upto you how to apply, I would apply with the info you have, write a cover letter with all the pages on a single pdf for upload and try. It looks like you have everything you need, it’s just how it’s worded. And the info you wrote here I think should be enough. Once you have the visa it’s irrelevant as new contract as a consultant or other is ok for ongoing as well as you will have paperwork for future use.

Whatever you do, once you have the DTV my advice would be carry printed copies of all paperwork on entry. Makes it much simpler if required.

What does your contract of employment currently state?

@Greg *******

yes, any stay where you maybe paid a hotel will register you anyway, meaning you will need to redo.
