Can I apply for the DTV visa under the Workcation/freelancer route with my background as a self-funded freelancer?

Hi everyone 👋

I’m looking into applying for the DTV (from UK) under the Workcation/freelancer route and was wondering if anyone here has been approved with a similar situation to mine.

Here’s a bit about me:

* Previously worked from home in automotive engineering industry making a decent salary.

* I’ve left that role in September to start my own online business (currently pre-revenue).

* I could pick up contracting work in engineering again if needed.

* I do some occasional freelance work (web/marketing) for UK clients - not full-time, maybe £500-£1000pm.

* I have plenty of savings and no intention of working with or for Thai companies.

Essentially, I’m self-funded, with a past track record of income, some light freelance work now, and the ability to earn more if needed.

Has anyone been approved with a similar profile - e.g. early-stage entrepreneurs or part-time freelancers without a fixed monthly income?

Any tips or experiences would be appreciated 🙏

Thanks a bunch in advance!
