TLDR : Answer Summary

The user seeks assistance in applying for a DTV visa due to the expiration of their ED visa. They are uncertain about the income proof required for the visa approval as they are currently not active on Preply, an online teaching platform. Comments suggest potential alternatives and insights on applying under different DTV categories, including the Thai Soft Power route, which may have fewer requirements than the Workation category. There are also discussions around the implications of remote work under Thai law and the need for proof of income or employment history for the visa application.

Hi! You actually have two options under the DTV visa — Workation or Thai Soft Power.

Applying under the Workation category does have a bit more scrutiny with the requirement of employment letter, regular salary (for remote worker) or contracts and previous work samples for freelance workers.

Based on your situation, the Workation category may be difficult as you have applied for Preply but are not active yet.

An easier alternative might be the Thai Soft Power route, which has fewer requirements. For example, you can enroll in cultural activities like Muay Thai or Thai cooking classes, which are eligible under this category.

We’ve successfully supported over 90 DTV applicants through our cooking school, in partnership with leading visa agents and law firms who regularly use our programs for their clients. So if you need help understanding the process or want guidance, feel free to reach out. Happy to answer any other questions you may have 🙏
