I got my DTV visa approved a couple days ago. Applied as remote worker/business owner.

I applied online with Thai embassy in Denmark. Fee 2500 DKK.

I applied thursday evening and friday by 11 am it was approved.

I showed bank statement of 500000 THB in my normal Euro account. Proof of current address, i showed copy of electricity bill with address and name on it.

For the last upload, as mentioned in other posts, you can only upload 1 document to show your remote worker status, business owner, freelance portfolio etc., so what I did was:

I made 1 PDF document explaining that I own my own business (I have single person LLC). I described briefly what I and my company do for a living and then highlighed, that as a self-employed, I am free to decide where I work from.

I included the business documents of the company showing that I am the owner and manager of the company. I also provided last 3 months invoices sent out with proof of payment as well.

Furthermore, I showed my tax statement from 2023 - all to prove I have steady income.

I did not include any client contracts, and also I did not provide any flight ticket or proof of accommodation in Thailand. I simply wrote the address where I will be staying, as I own a place in Thailand, but they didn't ask for proof, but I of course have the documents if needed.

Thanks to everyone in this group who have shared their experience with DTV visa. I will be happy to try and elaborate if anyone have any questions, but will be a bit busy next 2 days, so bear with me.

This is really helpful, but also I didn't know you could buy a place in Thailand without being a Thai national or at least with a residence visa?

Well, it was put wrong. I bought it via my Thai partner, and I am then leasing it.

0 THB in bank account, I think it's important to make a straight forward portfolio of your work that looks professional like make it in one pdf file with recent income etc. This visa is all about getting people to Thailand who have money to spend in Thailand

It's honestly makes me laugh to see people from the USA, UK, or Australia panicking before deciding to apply to this visa. They have no idea about the struggles people from smaller countries go through to get this visaπŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ
