Hello all, I'm considering applying for a DTV visa. I'm an American. My question though is I'd prefer to apply as "workation" rather than soft power as I do have a recently monetized youtube channel. I can prove analytics, an Adsense account, and active Youtube channel and community. The thing is I'm not sure I will have produced much income by the time I apply, but I have a decent pension income I primarily live off of. Has anyone else qualified under these conditions? Do they need to see some level of income from your online business? Would the decent pension income help? Appreciate your thoughts. Thanks.
Summary so far
A user is considering applying for a DTV (Digital Nomad) visa in Thailand, expressing a preference to apply under the 'workation' category due to their monetized YouTube channel. They have questions regarding qualifying income requirements, particularly if their pension income will suffice, and whether producing content for a YouTube channel in Thailand could necessitate a work permit, as raised by a commenter.

my question would be: does a yt account even qualify as you probably produce content inside thailand which would be work that even a local could do and need a work permit?!
