Applied for workcation as an IT freelancer.

Before submitting i properly cancelled my ED visa and flew back to Germany and applied immediately after my return. 4 days later, consulate requested an employment contract or certificate as additional documents. However, I replied i‘m a freelancer, resubmitted tax registration and 2 purchase orders from my customers (3 month contracts). Another 4 days later i got approved without any further questions.

I had an ED visa for studying thai language. You can reach out to any language school such as Duke, ALA, Rak Thai,…to support you in the process
