What is the process and requirements for obtaining a DTV visa as a remote worker in Thailand?

Question

Just got approved in Warsaw after 7 (5 business) days as remote worker. Thank you all for your advice!

Timeline:
20.05 9am Application submitted 
Documents:
- Bank account statement showing >THB 500k - sworn translation
- Compay registration - sworn translation

- My freelance portfolio plus a letter from the Company I co-own in Poland confirming I'll be performing my duties as a Board Member remotely and stating I'm also free to continue my freelance career (as I did for the last 18+ years)
- State ID
- Passport biodata page

20.05 ~3:30pm 
Request for further documents: originals of the translated documents (bank statement, company reg)
Submitted same day at 4:30pm

21.03 ~3:30pm
Request for further documents: all pages of my passport.

At this point I started to worry a little bit after reading a story about Warsaw Embassy cancelling someone's applications due to the lack of exit stamp from previous visit - I got back from Thailand a week prior to application and went through e-gates hence didn't have departure stamp either. I posted here for advice and followed it. Details below.

Submited full passport same day at 5:20pm

22.05 ~2:30pm
Request for further documents: statement about my current wearabouts signed by the applicant.

At this point I already knew (thanks to this community) what they were after, so I decided to make it easy - just as someone here suggested. I prepared  a letter explaining my current residence and my last trip to Thailand with it's full itinerary, boarding passes, confirmation on luggage admittance and even a selfie I took at the  BKK airport gate right before boarding. I also stated that since I left Thailand the single entry on-arrival visa I had is no longer valid and I do not hold any other type of Thai visa.

Submitted same day at ~5pm

23.05 Application status changed to awaiting Approval

28.05 5:05pm  APPROVED.

Thank you all!

PRINT OUT THE EMAIL THAT HAS YOUR DTV VISA.

That's what you should do... print it out.

You may have to show PROOF of your DTV Visa to airline staff on check-in for your flight ✈️ to Thailand...even to the connecting airline staff. Or to the land border crossing entry Thai Immigration Officer.

Upon arrival into Thailand, show the DTV visa to the Thai Immigration Officer and look at the STAMP placed in your passport to be sure you are STAMPED in for 180 days.
