What documents are needed to prove freelancer status for a DTV visa application in Thailand?

I submitted an engagement contract and also my business registration certificate (Australia). Both came back with a request to highlight specifically where it states my work can be conducted remotely. In the end I asked chatgpt to review the engagement contract and write a statement highlighting the clauses relevant to remote work for a DVT application. Took 60 seconds and my visa was approved soon after.

Hey Aiden! 👋 Sounds like you're well on your way, exciting times! 🙌 From my experience (and what others in my community have shared), an engagement letter + a few months’ worth of invoices should usually be fine as proof of freelancer status for the DTV visa. Just make sure:

The engagement letter is signed and clearly states your role, duration of service, and payment terms.

The invoices show regularity and match the scope of work mentioned in the engagement letter.

Bonus points if you can include payment confirmations (like bank statements or PayPal screenshots) to back it up.

Also worth checking if your embassy or consulate has any specific preferences, they sometimes vary a bit. Best of luck with your application, you've got this! 🚀 Cheers from Udonthani 🌏 PruLadda
