Why was my DTV visa application rejected by the Thailand Embassy in Myanmar?

@Ko *****

if you are freelance then you don't have an employer

@John *********

you could have. the legal wording would vary in each country and language, but some freelancers do work for some specific "employers". In Korea, where I live now, the freelance employment contracts are common (might not make much sense in English language). It doesn't mean you're an employee of them, but rather that they are paying you a fixed amount of money for a fixed service of yours, every month. My Korean company (I mean, the one which uses my services) did submit a letter of verification of my "remote freelance worker status" to the local Thai embassy for my DTV application.

@Elías *******

for me that makes you a contractor not a freelancer. But either way you would still have to be registered with the tax authority in your country so as well as the letter you should be able to show that, and the tax that you've paid.

I see. I'm not from an English-speaking country, so didn't know that. But yes, it makes sense. From now on I'll say an I.C. (and yes, I'm registered with the tax authority).

In Vientiane? Overall, it's not a particularly difficult visa to obtain.

Seems to be quite easy in many western countries, but within the region, it varies from relatively easy (Jakarta and Taipei) to slightly more involved but still generally straightforward for foreigners at least (Yangon, Phnom Penh and Ho Chi Minh) to a bit more pedantic and particular about documentation and minimum periods of bank deposits (Vientiane and Savannakhet) or account statement activity (Hanoi).
