Hello All, I am wondering if any of you can be kind enough to teach and advise a newbie from Singapore on how to obtain a "Meditation Visa" for me to meditate long-term in a thai forest retreat and the like. I was told that in order to obtain a "Meditation Visa", I have to obtain some sort of sponsorship letter from a monk or something. How should I do that? Is the sponsorship letter in english or thai? I don't speak a word of thai so that would work against me. So what happens after I get the sponsorship letter from a monk? What are the procedures like for me to get a long-term visa to meditate long-term in Thailand? Are there any need to put in a deposit into Thailand Bank accounts? I am sorry for asking so many questions to the veterans in here but I am a noob when it comes to searching for information on long-stay meditation in Thailand. Thank you so much for helping me out. Namaste.
