Hi folks! How are you? I would have a rather specific question for you, please (bottoms up your pina colada before venturing any further would be my suggestion) :
I'm sure it's going to feel as good a breeze of renewal as it feels for me, but hey, I want to work remotely as a digital nomad (self-employed, offering counselling services online, not working for any company) in Thailand.
I have not started my business yet and spent the last many months travelling, so my only asset is savings, a bit of education and a plan. I have the proper education/diploma and realistic funds, above the minimum required to have to apply for DTV in my country.
Did anybody in a similar situation (only having a proper budget, education and business plan to show the Ambassy) apply for DTV among this group?
If so, did you miserably fail or whimsically succeed? Also, may you share any of the following with me, please? Suggestions, fair concerns, comments on what went wrong or could have been done better, gibe, what were the extra admin steps to achieve this goal, murder*us looks, etc., please?
Thanks a whole bunch for reading the words of this lost lamb. May the good vibes of travels chase you whenever, wherever (we're meant to be together) you go. :)

TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around an individual seeking advice on obtaining a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) for Thailand while being self-employed and not yet having a business established. Key points include concerns about eligibility, potential strategies such as forming a company and documenting a salary, and alternative suggestions like enrolling in courses to meet visa requirements. Some comments provide light-hearted humor while advising caution about applying without substantial evidence of business operations.
Set yourself up a company, best to do it anyway, and write yourself a letter listing your salary and that you are allowed to work remotely. That will meet the requirements and you should be fine.
But even then they might ask to see pay being deposited in accordance to that statement. The simple fact is that the DTV has been abused (like most of the other visa's) and they are cracking down. But if MR. Riel says that Gab is allowed to work remotely.... 555
By cooking course, do you mean adding salt and pepper to an already sweet yet sour relationship filled with dreams (and lies) between me and a young and charming Thai lady, because if you don't, it's gonna be kind of a letdown... ๐
I would like to get a visa for remote working, but I am sorry to say, I haven't started working remotely, yet. . . . . . you should post this on a friday, not now, because that is the bitches' day. ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ and I always thought, that there are no stupid questions, instead only stupid answers. But now I need to rethink it
