Can I switch to a DTV visa under the Workcation category using rental income from Japan?

Hello everyone😊

I’m currently living in Chiang Mai on a Non-O (Guardian) visa and am considering switching to a DTV visa.

I manage rental property in Japan and receive monthly rental income.

I can provide:

• Lease agreements

• Bank statements showing rental payments

• Japanese tax returns

I would prefer to apply under the Workcation category.

However, one visa agent suggested that rental income might be more difficult to present under the Workcation category and recommended the Soft Power category instead.

Has anyone here successfully obtained a DTV under the Workcation category using rental income from real estate?

If so, which agent did you use, and would you recommend them?

Any experiences or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.🙏
Summary so far
The user is currently in Chiang Mai on a Non-O visa and is considering switching to a DTV visa specifically under the Workcation category, using their rental income from Japan as a basis for the application. They have received mixed advice regarding the suitability of using rental income for the Workcation category, with one visa agent suggesting the Soft Power category instead. They seek insights from others who have successfully navigated this process, particularly those who might have experience with applying for a DTV visa using rental income.
