Anyone get approved while working as an online teacher? I dont have a contract per se as I often work through the teacher marketplaces, alongside some private students

Wondering how to do/show this with documents etc. Any help appreciated, thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary

Many online teachers have successfully applied for visas in Thailand even without formal contracts. Key supporting documents can include invoices, payment transaction records from platforms like Stripe, and personal websites showcasing their work. It’s also advisable to check related threads in forums and Facebook pages for additional guidance and shared experiences.

Yes, I just applied yesterday in HCMC and one of the things I do is teach online but I have my own students so I just showed an invoice, stripe transactions and my website. I do other things too so I just tried to include everything! Hope that helps.

There have been a few posts of online teachers applying for DTVs. Check the threads and other FB pages. One uploaded the contract with the work provider and contracts with private students. Non Thai only students

Ok thanks I'll have a search and see if I can find anything. Not sure if the teacher marketplaces provide us with a specific contract or more general terms, may have to look.
