ORIGINAL POSTER

DTV Visa approved in Helsinki

Applied through e-visa system.

Fee was 350€

-Sent my current balance ( required was 15000€)

They asked additional last month's bank statement, was my ''savings'' account, so I had just a few transfers there. Sent and was good.

-For proof of location sent a telephone company bill

- Proof of digital nomad status/portfolio 

At first sent a picture of my webpage where I had collection of my works, but that didn't do. Then sent my business register info. That wasn't enough as well. Wrote to them and asked what was needed, I was told I needed a letter from company head stating i was doing remote work as a freelancer and job description in a few words. Wrote the letter to myself as the head of my company, just a few sentences that I work remotely as a freelancer and what I do. Sent, accepted.

Hope this helps someone 😊

For me processing time was 7 days total. I provided last 3 months bank account statement in Finnish from "OP pankki". They did request additional documents 1) flight ticket from Finland to Thailand, 2) latest payslip and 3) certificate of employment in English (I originally provided "väliaikainen työtodistus" in Finnish). Visa start date was the visa approval date, not my arrival date.

Thai Embassys don't understand what a freelamcer is (you are free to work how you need and not other people want you to) 🤣
