Can a web design freelancer successfully obtain a DTV visa if they have a web portfolio but no clients (as of yet). I'm a web developer who'd like to switch to web design freelancing once I reach Thailand. However, I don't have any clients yet; just my freelancing website and two spec sites I've created (which look quite professional, if I do say so myself). If I apply and include screenshots of my three websites in a PDF when applying for a DTV, what are the chances I'll be approved without a first client? I should add that I can more than meet the financial requirements. Thanks.
TLDR : Answer Summary
A freelancer looking to obtain a DTV visa in Thailand with a professional web portfolio but without current clients may have mixed chances of approval. While meeting the financial requirements is crucial, the acceptance may vary depending on the embassy and their specific criteria. Some suggestions include providing a strong portfolio in the application, considering alternative avenues such as developing soft power options, and consulting directly with the embassy regarding their specific requirements.
