Hi everyone, I need URGENT help with my DTV visa application as an Independent Freelancer.

I just got an email asking for more documents, even though I already submitted most during the original application. Can you please guide me on these points:

1. Business License / GST – I don’t have a registered business, I work as a freelancer with monthly contracts. Should I submit my client’s LLC? Or what else can I provide?

2. Flights & Hotel – I only gave flight number + Agoda “pay later” bookings (which now expired today). Do they want an actual ticket + fresh booking?

3. Employment Contract/Certificate – I don’t have a formal certificate, only client contracts (already submitted). Should I add letterhead + client's sign as advised, or is there another way?

4. All Passport Pages – This I can submit.

From what I hear, Mumbai consulate looks for strong proof of regular income + ability to sustain yourself in Thailand.

Would really appreciate guidance from those who have gone through this 🙏

Thanks in advance!

They want to know you are legit and paying taxes. Try to formalise and show that you do this. I don't know stipulations for that embassy but meeting the criteria for London was very hard, I had to supply alot of difficult paper work. Give them as much as you can!

Send a cover letter explaining why you are not a registered business

Send real reservation

send contract between you and your client (more than 1 is better) with a cover letter explaining everything

I think showing you are registered with the tax system is what they are looking for

I fully qualify for the visa as a freelancer and yet asked for business registration.

You can submit a client's business registration info. I did so as a freelancer applied in Taiwan though. They seem to want an actual booked ticket with booking ref. You can create a formal employment contract/certificate with your client, I did the same. Having it on letterhead, gives it a more professional, authentic image.
