What is the DTV visa and can anyone recommend a Thai school in Hua Hin for this visa?

@Gerry *******

you don't need the Thai language course for the visa. You just need to prove that you have income outside of Thailand and that you have the funds. That's it. The DTV isn't tied to a course or school. It is made for freelancers and remote workers.

proof of income outside is not enough, it should be income generated by remote working or a freelance job as that is where the visa is made for as you also say.

You need documents from your employer that you work remotely, or in case of freelancer, the documents have to be provided by your clients.

I'm sorry, but that's not correct.

The standard government DTV flyer spells it out.

No matter on what basis you apply for the DTV, there is no requirement to prove income. You definitely need to prove that you already have enough money to fund yourself. Apart from that, you also need to prove that you are engaged in remote work, or required to be in Thailand for a specific purpose, such as education, sport training, medical treatment, etc.

They basically want you to justify that you are busy with something other than working in Thailand and that you're self-sufficient.

@Gerry *******

you are right on the courdes. But it is not necessary to be enrolled to have the visa. You just need the funds check this video

I've seen it. Watch and listen carefully from this timestamp:



You need to meet the criteria. For remote work, you need to prove employment or that you're actually engaged in work, but there is no requirement to show any actual income from that work.
