ORIGINAL POSTER

Is it possible to apply for a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) without a registered business? I work as a freelancer and, due to being below the taxation minimum bracket in my home country, I’m not legally required to register a business.

I can provide the following supporting documentation:

• A portfolio showcasing my work.

• A client list with active contracts.

• Bank statements demonstrating regular income from clients.

Would this be sufficient for a successful application? I plan to apply in Ho Chi Minh City.

As long as you've got the equivalent of bt500,000 in your personal bank account you should be fine. You might be asked for your latest income tax filing though. The embassy in Yangon Myanmar is fast.

I think as long as you show that you work and get income it should be fine

I heard from agents that in HCM they ask for extra documents, I’d recommend you to try Cambodia
