What are the chances of getting a Digital Work Visa (DTV) in Thailand as a new entrepreneur without client history?
What about a REMOTE WORKER DTV when you Just start your own company, and don’t have any clients history yet.
Any experiences.?
Any experiences.?
Summary so far
The thread discusses the challenges of applying for a Remote Worker DTV visa in Thailand without established client history. Several users suggest having sufficient funds (e.g., 500,000 baht) and proposing a solid business plan to strengthen the application. However, many express skepticism, noting that a lack of portfolio and business history could lead to a visa denial. Some recommend considering a Soft Power activity instead, highlighting that navigating the visa process may be complicated without prior client work or experience.

ignoring feedback it’s a choice, you don’t want to go for soft power because you don’t want to spend the bare minimum. Got my DTV in France, good luck with a new company with no proven track records. Likely to be rejected.

You'll need to show a portfolio and eventually transactions/work you've done with some customers. It depends on the embassy, but a company paper under your name with zero transaction is unlikely to convince them. If you get an interview, that will be even more difficult.

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.

@Benjamin ********
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.
