Can I obtain a DTV visa for freelancing in Thailand with limited income but sufficient funds?
I'm getting started as a freelancer and I have about 700,000 Baht in the bank. Do you think if I have a registered business, portfolio, website, but not much freelance income, I would be denied the DTV for the freelance path? Or should I go the soft power route?

Yes, you can. Just put on all the information with details.

Some have got it as a freelancer with no income, just a portfolio and a plan. There isn't technically any income requirement. Some embassies do want established regular income for a period.

You are fine via the freelance route. Similar applicants to yourself have been approved. Choose a 'friendly' embassy, as mentioned ..add Jakarta to that list.

Go for the soft power route.
