What is the application process like for a Thai visa as a self-employed portfolio manager from Germany?

My application got approved after three weeks of applying, I applied in Munich Germany , as self employed portfolio manager and Author, submitted documents: professional portfolio, approve of address ( they requested National ID for that as in German ID your home address is written in back of the ID card) ,

Official portfolio PDF document from my Broker showing my holdings (worth around 7 million Thai B ), a photo and a copy of my passport. After submitting in two weeks they requested Business registration (Gewerbeanmeldung) I replied with an official letter that I don’t have a business registration in Germany and explained my work nature that doesn’t require a formal business registration and as how flexible it is that perfectly fit for a digital nomad , as alternatives for the business registration I submitted my income reports since I started managing my portfolio and my tax return reports showing that im paying taxes and I am legit regarding my income and my Tax record.

After my application experience I believe that it really depends on the consulate where you are applying and their flexibility. Not all are for 100% the same.

TLDR : Answer Summary
A successful application for a Thai visa as a self-employed portfolio manager was completed at the Thai consulate in Munich, Germany, which included submitting various documents such as a professional portfolio, proof of address, a portfolio document from a broker, identification, and an official letter explaining why a business registration was not provided. The applicant emphasizes that the flexibility of the consulate plays a significant role in the approval process, and addresses concerns regarding substantial investment requirements.

Did you have the 7million Baht invested and still get approved? From what I've heard that is uncommon

ok good to know. I applied in Frankfurt. Let's see if they accept my portfolio. It's not quite 7 million Bath but quite a bit more than the required 500k...

I would love to learn more about your official letter, for I am worried about the exact same thing and applying in Berlin. Would you kindly send me a message, please?
