    Got any facts to back up that claim of yours about scientists being on the take?

    "Any alleged factual claims must be supported by a valid link to an approved credible source."

    In other words, put up or....

    They are like the boiling frog analogy personified. New record temperatures every year they are still trying to claim it's all a fake news conspiracy.

    I use google voice and my # appears as a local one...actually called BofA last week from here to ask them a question.... FREE

    Google Voice is VoIP calling over the internet, which is a completely different thing.  WiFi calling is a feature that connects to your SIM providers network using the internet instead of cell towers, so it will still show the same CID, always pass SMS security checks, and doesn't result in roaming charges.

    You actually can call from your home cell number/sim if your mobile has wifi calling

    When I am in Thailand & use that method it works well & of course it is free

    Not all telcos and calling plans include that.  And it's not free.  At least not with my provider.  I still get charged for airtime exactly as if I were making a call through my providers cell towers back home.  All the WiFi does is connect to the providers network via the internet instead of a cell tower.

    I will try going to Vientiane today with  
    printing out my website screenshot and URL

    Worth a shot.  I was also thinking of showing them a report from my billing software such as a customer list by state/country.  Creating a business website can be done quite easily using a template, so I suspect they would want to see a little more than that.

    I work offshore. This is what I posted elsewhere, might be useful to you. 

     

     Applied online which was sent to London for approval due to home location being UK.
     Applied on 19th (Friday), on 23rd (Tuesday) got the request for addition documents (proof of employment) even though submitted my employment contract which was issued through Singapore. They requested a letter from UK or Ireland employer.
     Reached out to HR, got the letter, submitted it about 12 hours from the Thai authorities requesting for it.
     Even though the letter had no UK nor any other country mentioned anywhere at all (I work for American company), just stated that I am international roamer with no fixed place of work.
     That worked well and on 24th (Wednesday) at 22.59 UK time already got 5 year visa approved. So basically 3 full business days taking into consideration that they were waiting for nearly a day for the letter of employment.
     Application process is easy but nit-noy confusing, one of the requirements was proof of current location. By that they probably mean "proof of address", but to be on a safe side I supplied proof of current location - which was my boarding passes to Spain from previous day + missing baggage reports with dates as well as my gas bill as proof of address.
     Supplied Bank Statement from UK bank with current balance which was more than 500k Baht required.
     Visa valid for 5 years from the date of issue (24th). So next time I fly back home to Thailand I will no longer have to go through the visa-waiver and perhaps can consider buying a car & motorbike if it is allowed with this visa, need to investigate further.
     Easy peasy!
     Total cost £300, so not really 10k Baht as advertised, but maybe different fees for different countries, overpaid by 4000 baht, but at least done and dusted.

    The proof of address thing is the same requirement as the tourist visa.  Having done that a few times what has worked for me was an image of my drivers license.

    I'm waiting for clearer info on this too. I have a homepage that shows I can provide web and software development services and has a portfolio of projects I done during study etc. It's never made any money. I emailed them in Laos asking for clarification and recieved none.

    It needs to be a business earning you a reasonable income.  You might be able to skirt around it or they may ask for something proving that.

    Less attacks on personalties is needed not more. What they need to be doing is talking about their own policies and plans for the future, if another disaster happens like another democratic win.

    Gotta laugh at this new talking point.  It's impossible to even try defend the convicted felon,  so now you are all clutching your pearls and saying you just want to talk about 'the issues'.  Of course, any issue that points out he is a wierd creepy old man unfit for office does not count.  Anything that points out how weird Republican sheeple are also does not count.

    Yup - Its never easy understanding what the rules are in Thailand and I do not know what business you are in, but if you are digitally focussed and according to the video - providing a decent professional portfolio may simply be enough. If on the other hand if your work is not digital, but simply provide work remotely, its going to be difficult to prove without invoice based evidence.

     

    Imaging someone remotely reselling dog food online.  Or t-shirts.  Or dildos.  Doesn't matter.   There is no concept of a professional portfolio in that type of business and yet people who do that are still digital nomads.  That is why I said I don't know what to give them. Lots of other people will have the same dilemma.

     

    The person doing this type of business is just the middleman btw.  They don't need to fulfill the orders themselves, so easily done remotely.  Or possibly they are reselling something that is fulfilled over the internet.  Like software or some kind of remote service.  Again, there is nothing you can call a professional portfolio in this type of a remote business where they are just reselling stuff.
