What was the experience of applying for the Digital Nomad Visa from Australia for a Chilean passport holder?

Question

🇹🇭 My DTV experience applying from Australia – Chilean passport 🇨🇱

Sharing my process in case it helps someone:

● 17 Aug: I submitted my DTV application from Australia under the freelancer/remote worker category. (I attached my professional portfolio, work experience, freelance work, university degree, financial statements, and my Australian/VEVO visa. My Australian student visa expired on August 31st.)

● 26 Aug: The Thai Embassy in Canberra asked for my ABN and a new photo. My ABN showed as cancelled, so I explained the situation and uploaded proof that I had applied for a new one.

● 27 Aug: They asked for a letter confirming current remote work, or alternatively proof of enrolment in a Thai Soft Power activity.

● 27–28 Aug: I have 6 years of experience as a freelancer and with casual clients, but I didn't have a contract, so as not to make up something false I enrolled in a 9-month Muay Thai program in Phuket (20,000 THB) and uploaded the official enrolment letter plus supporting documents from the gym.

● 31 Aug: My DTV was approved 🎉, on the final day of my Australian visa.

In total, it took around 14 calendar days from application to approval.

My advice: reply quickly to any document requests, be transparent if there is an issue, and upload clear and complete supporting documents.

This is just my personal experience with the Royal Thai Embassy in Canberra.

British embassy doesn't have anything to do with  the getting married procedure,  other than providing a document saying you are not already married. The process is done at the local thai government offices
