Im currently applying from Vietnam the DTV. I can only upload one document for each section. What would you recommend as a freelancer to upload: CV, portfolio, contract with customer or references? Or should i make one PDF in put all my contracts, bills, documents together in one PDF and upload? Please help me :D ☺🤓🙆

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is applying for a DTV visa and is unsure about which documents to upload due to the one-document limit per section. Recommendations from the community suggest merging all relevant documents (CV, portfolio, contracts, and references) into a single PDF for submission. Additionally, including a cover letter at the top of the PDF to explain each part is advised, ensuring that all essential information is presented clearly.

Combine everything into one PDF, and put your cover letter explaining each part at the top of the file.

With german documentation, you will be best of applying in Germany, to avoid documents being rejected or to have official translations made of the documents.

The German Thai Embassy, will recognize standard German documents, where other embassies may be reluctant to approve such documents

But that does not mean that it is the best way to be approved, especially when your documentation is not all in English, which are depanded if you don’t apply in the country from which the documents originate from.

Hence many applicants are asked for additional / translated documentation, which resets the visa processing time to zero, and therefore extra cost of staying longer time in the country of the Embassy applyed at.

I know what you mean, but almost everyone I know who has the DTV didn't apply from their home country

Majority of people in this forum do not apply in their home country I think. Vast majority are approved first time in another country, the system is made to apply overseas. I get what you saying but it is not difficult getting approved outside of your home country except for a couple of embassies like KL..
