Hello everyone,

Does anyone know how long the employment should be to be approved for the DTV? I have registered self-employment on Dec 1st so only for a month so far. I wanted to apply soon for the DTV.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The conversation discusses the required duration of employment for eligibility for the Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) in Thailand. Users shared their experiences, indicating that showing prior income stability may help in the application process. One user mentioned being approved with only a few days of self-employment, while another highlighted that including invoices and a bank statement from a recently established company helped in their case.

I had a recently incorporated company (2 months) but i attached 3 invoices, 2 from long term ongoing clients, and i also attached my company bank statement evidencing the invoices being paid.

They haven't questioned any of that so far.
