Has anyone applied for DTV as a Freelancer? I know about the portfolio and invoices that need to be shown. I have also seen some forums talking about tax returns as well and want to know if proof of taxes is required.

TLDR : Answer Summary
Freelancers applying for the Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) in Thailand generally need to provide proof of income such as a portfolio and invoices. Tax returns are not explicitly required, as the focus is on showing income sources. According to community feedback, as long as you can demonstrate that you earn an income, tax documentation may not be necessary. Additionally, only funds brought into Thailand can be taxed, and individuals may have tax liabilities only based on actual income declared in Thailand.
Basically, as far as tax is concerned, only money you actually bring into Thailand becomes a "tax liability". However, if you have already paid tax on this in another country you will pay little or no tax in Thailand. If you bring cash, although it should be declared, it's untraceable, and if you bring savings from before 2024 it's totally exempt tax
