What about a REMOTE WORKER DTV when you Just start your own company, and don’t have any clients history yet.

Any experiences.?

I'm not trying to be the most popular kid on the block. You've asked for the opinions on your possible application for the DTV visa. Again I wish you success 🤞

My advice is to get the DTV visa using Soft Power activity. And concurrently get your new Digital nomad workcation business up and operating, per your business plan.

you need to show experience and successful portfolio of doing business with clients outside of Thailand.

Suggest you not waste your time and money in getting the DTV visa as a workcation DIGITAL NOMAD.

Use a Soft Power activity.

I think if you can have the 500,00 baht in your account it should be sufficient.

I know some people , who will show a business plan on a pdf , apparently that helps to add more information.
