How can I successfully apply for a DTV freelancer visa in Vientiane?

Question

DTV Freelancer approved in Vientiane, without an agency

Sharing my experience here, hopefully can be helpful:

* Applied DTV visa, freelancer route in Vientiane 
* Interview: Questions: Why Thailand? Tell me what you do? How long have you been working with these clients? Show me examples of your work (showed a lot, pulled up the email app I use, Asana, etc.); Show me your bank accounts and wise; Where will you be staying?

Pro tip:
* Print everything
* Get mobile data for the interview. The wifi there is gated and you don't want to use public wifi to log into your bank account
* Dress well
* Arrive 30min in advance

Congrats! A couple of questions - can I apply for the visa now and plan to visit Thailand January 2027? How do you provide info of your inbound ticket and accommodation (presuming it's not wise to buy a ticket before you get the results for your visa application, as you've always can get rejected). Thanks in advance!

Thank You for your helpful report 👍

Congratulations 👏👏👏

PRINT OUT THE EMAIL THAT HAS YOUR DTV VISA.

That's what you should do... print it out.

You may have to show PROOF of your DTV Visa to airline staff on check-in for your flight ✈️ to Thailand...even to the connecting airline staff. Or to the land border crossing entry Thai Immigration Officer.

Upon arrival into Thailand, show the DTV visa to the Thai Immigration Officer and look at the STAMP placed in your passport to be sure you are STAMPED in for 180 days.
