I am from EU, and I plan to apply for DTV visa as a remote worker (in Hanoi or HCMC, or maybe Taipei), but I struggle with a requirement of job contract, or a contract with a client.

I have as my income is more of a "passive". I don't work for clients, I work for myself and sell my own mobile applications on Play Store & Apple Store. I get paid monthly by Google / Apple. It's kinda similar as selling a book on Amazon or living off Youtube content etc.

All I can show is a link to these stores with my apps & my name next to it. Would that be sufficient proof/document?

Or would it be better to just apply for soft power using an agent? Thank you!

Answer summary

The post discusses challenges faced by an EU national seeking a DTV visa in Thailand as a remote worker. They primarily generate income from selling mobile applications and lack a traditional job contract. Comments suggest showing income from app sales and tax reports as proof of business, and indicate that applying for a soft power visa might be a simpler alternative.

When you are from EU, apply in EU, more specific in your country of residence.

Much less trouple getting documents approved, in the country they are submitted.

You show your income from the app store sales as income to your business but they may well also want to see you have paid tax on the income. Also the tax return will validate the business
