Two questions. I'm going to Hanoi to apply for the DTV. I'm a freelancer, with short term/project contracts. 1) Is a letter from clients confirming I'm a freelancer enough for the work certificate requirement? 2) I note some freelancers go the soft power route. Any recs for a Chiang Mai cooking school that meets that the DTV requirements? Is that the easier route?
Answer summary
The user inquires about the DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) application process from Hanoi, questioning if a client letter suffices for the work certificate. They also seek recommendations for Chiang Mai cooking schools that meet DTV 'soft power' route requirements, wondering if this is an easier option. Responses clarify that the DTV applies differently for soft power and workation, emphasizing that language classes are not allowed for the DTV.

If you apply using soft power your DTV is approved for soft power not for workation. If you want to work remotely apply using the workation option.
