I do graphic design for various companies which I can do anywhere. I don't work for a specific employer. Any recommendations on how to get an employment letter that is needed for the DTV Visa?

TLDR : Answer Summary
A freelancer seeking an employment letter for the DTV Visa in Thailand can approach their clients for a letter detailing the services provided, or consider using previous contracts and invoices. Alternatively, they could write a letter to themselves, emphasizing their freelance work and portfolio to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Since freelancers do not officially work for a single company, it is recommended to prepare a personal cover letter for the visa application.

An employment letter is if you work for a company, but you don't, you're a freelancer. Suggest you put on your thinking cap and prepare yourself to write a cover letter to present yourself and your portfolio to the Ministry of Foreign affairs for your DTV Visa.

Reach out to one of your clients and have them send you an employment contract. Just tell them it's for visa reasons. If you're close, it shouldn't be an issue

Did you try asking your embassy if previous invoices and contracts would work? Are you a freelancer on any platform? It’d also work
