ORIGINAL POSTER
Hi, I'm an online teacher applying for a DTV. The consulate has requested a resume and "professional portfolio showcasing digital nomad". Does anyone know if a link to my teaching profile on the site I work through is enough? Otherwise, I'm not sure what to send as the portfolio that would make it different than my resume.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The individual is applying for a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) and requires clarification on what to include in a professional portfolio to supplement their resume. Suggestions from the community include providing a link to the teaching profile, sharing screenshots of lessons, reviews, a class schedule, proof of earnings, lesson plans, and curriculum outlines. It is recommended to include evidence of work that fits within the file size limit set by the consulate.

I got asked exactly the same question from HCMC Embassy. I sent some of my lesson plans, a PPT of one of my online classes, some writing grading templates I had developed and some curriculum outlines I had developed. It worked for HCMC but not sure where you are applying from.

I sent screenshots from lessons, reviews, my class schedule and student roster, some proof of earnings, etc. Whatever you're able to show them as evidence of your work. You can search the group with my name to see the full post of my successful application. I never got asked for more docs and was approved within 5 days.

The real trick is figuring out how to make it all fit into a 2 or 3MB file.

Link, some brief, some reviews, some earnings proofs, number of students you have taught etc

Can you download your earnings etc, also your profile maybe would work as a "portfolio". I've been thinking of doing this myself.

yes, your profile works as part of the portfolio.

Can you apply from within Thailand? I've been here 20 yrs

@Colin *******
remember, with the DTV visa, you cannot teach any student who is in Thailand. Students MUST be outside of Thailand.

They are good to include plus lesson sample, overview of types of students, online lesson protocol if you have one.
