ORIGINAL POSTER

I am an 1099 independent contractor/freelancer in US. I have had only one contract since I did contractor. The monthly income is minimal since I only need to work for them for a few hours each month. My main income source is from property rental. Am I eligible to apply for DTV? I am worried they will question my contractor income is not sufficient.

Why don’t you apply for soft power? So you don’t have to worry about that. Maybe easier since you have main income but make sure that you have 500k in account

Do business owners applying for a DTV in Thailand need to demonstrate regular income from their LLC?
