What was the process of getting a DTV (freelance) visa in Thailand for a British citizen?
DTV (freelance) application approved ✅
I haven’t read of any freelancers applying, mainly remote workers and soft power so thought i’d share my experience.
Friday 16th. application sent with following evidence
- Passport photo
- Photo of actual passport
- Bank statement showing current address in the UK
- The same bank statement to show proof of funds
- Pdf document with links to my “professional portfolio”
Monday 19th.
Application status update.
Additional info required.
- Professional portfolio links supplied not working, please provide alternative
- Self assessment tax return / Statement of accounts / Accountant's letter / Personal tax calculation or computation statement from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC)
Additional info supplied
- Pdf document with screenshots of portfolio instead of links
- Pdf document with cover letter explaining what i do as a freelancer and proof of where my funds came from (house sale)
Tuesday 20th - visa approved
Worth mentioning that i’m a British Citizen and currently in the UK so went through the London consulate.
