I haven't applied yet, but seen a post yesterday from a lady who got hers. She applied right through the site, all your business documents have to be in order , bank information, drivers license, address in your home country. Just get on the website and follow the instructions. Also tells you everything you will need to submit.

You need a letter from your employer, stating that your work is remote. I am not sure how this would work if you are self-employed And able to work remotely

So they replied to me via FB messages. Short answer and not very specific:

"For digital nomad, you just have to show us what you do."

I also asked how long we have to show the 500k THB has been in an account, and they answered "3-6 months bank statement". Which is also not very specific...

Do you trade as an individual or do you have a LLC or similar setup? If the latter, the LLC would be your employer.

You should try to send what you think is the most relevant and then if they need they will ask you for more papers I think. Just don’t send them links to your website. They will not accept it, only pdf or documents

the same here, especially since the Paris embassy is not cool.. Two years ago they refused me a tourist visa because the expiration date was hard to see on the passport scan, I didn't even have the option to upload another one and I lost 40 euros, I don't want to lose 350 this time. Also the one in Paris announces 1 month of processing while the others take a week and the others also answer emails in less than 48 hours. In short, it's annoying.

yes but I’m not sure this is a requirement or if they really consider this, if you make 20k or 200k annually you still have a business and have 500k Thai baths that’s all they ask.
