What should I do if I cannot make my appointment for a NON-B visa at the Savannakhet embassy due to travel issues?

Ian **********

I'm assuming you had to make an account to book the appointment. If you did, make another account with a different email and use that account to make the new appointment.

What steps did you take to successfully apply for a DTV visa as a freelancer in the UK?

Ian **********

@Judas ******************

Non-B visa is for ppl who will be employed in Thailand and a DTV is for ppl who work remotely and will not work for any Thai company but wish to spend time in Thailand. It is much more complicated than that but these are the basic differences.

I know and that is what he did but he didn't complete it so he asked for options.

@Graham *****

I know. The poster is already in Europe and you can only apply for a non-O from your country of residence. He was applying for an OA retirement visa in his home country that requires CRC and health insurance.

How does the 180-day rule affect tourists staying in Thailand on exempt visas?

How can I ensure my Wise fund transfers are tagged as international for visa extensions in Thailand?

Ian **********

@Nick ***********

I've just used personal expenses and it is showing as Transfer from another a/c. I also tried 'other' and it is the same. These two transfers took seconds whereas when I chose 'buying property' it says Mon or Tues before funds arrive, and that is what I would expect.

So have they replaced the option?

So their solution to the problem is to get you to tell lies! Disgraceful behaviour from a financially regulated company.

@David ******

Every tax resident can be investigated and if found to be evading tax they will be prosecuted but if found to owe no tax then no action will be taken. In Thailand, it is illegal to evade paying tax but it is not illegal if you don't file a return because you owe no tax.
