Soo. I am a freelancer, but I don’t get “payslips” or invoices for my local clients(I’m from India). I just met the clients I have locally in person and they told me what they would want every month, and I provide them what they want every month for which they transfer me the payment every single month. I’ve got the same fixed payment from these clients every single month for the last 2 years, but I don’t receive any payslips or invoices for the same.
I have more than 2 million THB in my savings account(way more than the 500k required for DTV) and I also have freelance clients through fiverr and have an Etsy shop. But the fiverr and etsy shop aren’t something that give me a fixed monthly income. it’s on and off and some months I get a lot of clients and some months are flat af. Do you think I can apply for a DTV based on my local(2 clients) that I have even though I can prove the payment through showing the payment in my bank account and can present my tax statements, but don’t have payslips or invoices for the same?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The individual inquires about the eligibility for a Thailand Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) given their unique income situation as a freelancer without payslips or formal invoices from local clients, yet having substantial savings and some freelance work through platforms like Fiverr and Etsy. Community members suggest creating invoices to support their application and highlight the importance of providing bank statements and tax documents as proof of income. Others share their experiences with similar situations, indicating that it's indeed possible to get approved for the DTV without traditional employment documents.
Yes you can still get a DTV. Others on similar platforms got approved. I don't get payslips, I provided a letter from my employer stating the last 6 months of payments I received. Those payments I highlighted on my bank statements
haha sorry I phrased it wrong, I meant I never really sent them an invoice so far. I just had a verbal agreement with them and they keep transferring my payments to my bank account every month after I send them the graphics
