TLDR : Answer Summary
To apply for the Soft Power visa in Thailand as a Freelancer, specific documents related to your job are not required. According to comments from the community, individuals applying for the Soft Power visa reported that they did not need to submit any job-related documents. However, including a portfolio of your work, business card, and social media screenshots can be beneficial. Additional context such as passport nationality and the purpose of the visa application may also help clarify your situation.

It would help us if we have ADDED information about you...

What is your passport nation?

Where will you be applying for the DTV visa?

For what purpose?

Workcation or Soft Power activity?

If workcation, how long have you been working as a Digital Nomad?

Do you have a personal bank account in your name only with at least 500,000 Thai bank account balance?

For how many months have you had a balance of 500,000 Thai baht or more?

If soft power activity, which one?
