Has anyone been able to obtain their DTV as a digital nomad/freelance solely using their NON MONETIZED YouTube channel as a portfolio? If you have, I would love to hear about how you did it. Thanks in advance.
Summary so far
The discussion revolves around the feasibility of acquiring a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) in Thailand using a non-monetized YouTube channel as a portfolio. Responses indicate skepticism about this approach, suggesting that verifiable income is required, and mentioning additional necessary documentation and financial proof, such as bank statements. Some commenters highlight the challenges of supporting oneself in Thailand without illegal work and point to the need for a comprehensive application that typically includes proof of existing client relationships and revenue.

I am a freelance dev: on top of the required documents I had to provide a letter explaining what I do and where my customers are from. I also had to provide up to date company registration, proof of customers payments for October and bank statements showing these same payments received.

OP
So many assumptions being made here. I have read and reread the requirements. I appreciate the desire to be helpful, but at the end of the day so far nobody has tried as I am suggesting from the responses thus far.

If you don't have verifiable income you will have to apply under soft power and pay for something like 6 months muay thai. Even using soft power you might want to more then 500k in your bank statements as they can denie based on the fact they think you will not be able to support yourself without working illegally in thailand. Even if monetized your YouTube also couldn't be Content filmed in or about thailand as that would require a work permit.
