What documentation is needed to apply for the Thailand DTV as a remote worker with no employment letter?

Question

I'm getting ready to apply for the Thailand DTV. I currently do remote work but it is contract / per task work, and I cannot get a letter of employment.

3 months ago I sent email to the Thai Embassy in LA with a screenshot of my payout schedule but they replied that this is insufficient.

I have been to Thailand 3 times before each with a tourist visa, about 60 days at a time, no overstays.

Since then I have started my own business with business license( issued 2 months ago ), created an online portfolio ( [himilou.github.io](http://himilou.github.io) ), designed and invoiced clients for websites and created invoices for all my remote work.

I also own a rental property.

I have had more than the required 15,000 USD in a savings account for over 3 months.

I am planning to send them my license, copies of my invoices for all digital work. Bank statements showing monthly income though the bank statements will not line up with the invoices directly because my tenants pay digitally so I often get large combined deposits from paypal etc when I move money to my account.

I have a clean criminal background.

Is this going to be sufficient for the DTV? I don't really want to blow $400.00 if this seems like a rejection scenario, but I want to go to Thailand for 6 months solid and not have to worry about visa runs, extensions, etc that I could get with a multi-entry tourist visa.

Thoughts and opinions?

Thanks in advance

The user is preparing to apply for a Thailand Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) but is concerned about their documentation. They cannot provide a letter of employment since they do remote contract work. They have previously visited Thailand on tourist visas, started their own business, and maintain a savings account with the required funds. However, their income documentation is complicated due to how their tenant payments are processed. They seek advice on whether their current documentation will be sufficient to avoid visa application rejection.

To be honest I would put your faith in ChatGpt! I did and it paid off. Put into Chat the whole problem etc and you will find that it will help you out. Mine was complex and it done the whole thing, told me what to do, drafted the letters etc, honestly give it a go.

Show the money trail for payments of your invoices. If the payments coming into your account don't match up with invoices then show the interim transactions so they can all be matched up

They may think that you started your business, only for the purpose to get the visa, and would not accept than until your business has been active for a longer period.

Some savings accounts wont be accepted, if you can’t take out the money instantly.
