Does travel vlogging count towards remote worker or freelancer status? I do meet the financial requirements, but I’m not actively making money off the vlogging

Summary so far

The question addresses whether engaging in travel vlogging can be considered as fulfilling the requirements for remote worker or freelancer status in Thailand. Commenters highlight the need for a registered company and proof of income, warning that without it, visa applications are likely to be rejected. The response suggests that the authorities may assume income generation from vlogging, which could conflict with visa stipulations, especially for the DTV visa.

very risky, 99% they will reject, they will assume you will use thailand also for vlogging to make money which is against the DTV visa, wish you good luck though and if you are able to get the DTV let us know...

For workcation they're almost certainly going to ask for proof of income.

If you have a company, you can write yourself a remote work contract. But when they ask for tax reports, maybe trouble if not income
