What documents are necessary for applying for the DTV visa as a remote worker from Australia?

Question

Hey gang, I'm about to apply for the DTV from Australia, and I want to make sure I've covered all my bases before submitting. If applying as a remote worker, are payslips a NECESSITY, or will proof of my employment (ie contract) suffice? The website is sparse when it comes to requirements, and I don't want to have it rejected. I've been researching posts within the group, but still can't gauge if they're 100% needed.
Thanks in advance!

A user is preparing to apply for the DTV visa from Australia and seeks clarity on whether payslips are mandatory or if a contract alone is sufficient for proof of employment as a remote worker. The discussion highlights varying opinions on documentation, with some suggesting that while payslips are not explicitly required, providing extensive documentation can strengthen the application and reduce the risk of rejection. Recommendations include submitting the employment contract, bank statements, and a cover letter along with any payslips available.

Just send what is needed, when they want more they will ask for it, you will not get rejected because of insufficient documents.

If I were you I would include:

- employment contract

- bank statements with the 500k balance, income payments, your name and account number highlighted

- payslips (if you have them)

- letter from your company stating you can work remotely and in Thailand

- formal cover letter from yourself as the first document, stating why you want to live in Thailand, how you’ll support yourself, where you’ll live and that you won’t work in Thailand and will adhere to all regulations. List all the documents you’ve included with your application

If you want to avoid getting rejected, or being asked for more documents, then submit as much as you can in the first instance, to ensure you have a strong application!

Good luck

My contract didn't state remote work and Sydney asked for a new contract stating remote work, approved after I sent a new contract. I did send payslips and bank statements to match,  but I was not asked to.

I don’t send any payslips. Just a bank balance.

Proof of Income is not a requirement but may be asked for ( who’s knows if or when) 500 K THB or a equivalent in savings is.
