As a trader what document are you submitting to prove digital nomad or freelance.... I am trying as a full time forex trader I don't know if we can submit our trading account statement as proof...

If anyone had tried and got thru in getting DTV visa as a stock/forex trader pls share your experience

TLDR : Answer Summary
The post discusses the challenges faced by a forex trader trying to obtain a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) in Thailand, specifically in terms of the documentation required to prove their freelance status. The user is uncertain if a trading account statement is sufficient evidence. Comments from others suggest inquiries about formal registration as a freelancer and provide additional resources like taxframe.com.
