Will my cover letter and assignment agreement suffice for my visa application as a freelancer in Thailand?

Thailand Visa Freelancer Visa Digital Nomad Remote Work Employment Documentation

Aug 15, 2025

ORIGINAL POSTER

Question for y'all: I generally work as a freelance software engineer, but at the moment, I contract with a large corporation (call it A) via a separate staffing company (call it B). So, instead of a freelance contract with A, I have an assignment agreement from B that mentions that I'll be working with A.

The visa application asks for evidence of "digital nomad, remote worker, foreign talent or freelancer status." So I wrote a cover letter (attached) explaining that I'm generally a freelance software engineer, and furthermore explaining the situation above about my current employment. In that PDF, I also include my assignment agreement per above, as well as several past contracts where I truly was a freelancer.

Should that suffice? Will there be any confusion about my employment situation?

Thanks!

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is seeking advice on whether their documentation for a Thailand visa application is adequate given their current employment situation as a contractor working through a staffing company. They have submitted a cover letter outlining their freelance status and a contract associated with their current employer, but are concerned about potential confusion regarding their employment status. Responses emphasize the importance of including a letter from clients or employers clearly stating the user's remote work authorization to strengthen their application.

I've had the exact same setup. The important thing is not your setup with your customers, it's to proof how you are set up (usually self proprietorship as freelancer) and providing proof of it (registration number, tax payments) as well as proof of having continuous income either through your first line customer (the one that pays you) or portfolio / explanation if you have your own product for example

I would dm you with more details but you're anonymous unfortunately

You need a letter from an employer, client (or self if self employed,) that explicitly states that you are a remote worker authorized to work in Thailand. Also, it should be addressed directly to the Royal Thai Embassy that you are applying at.

Should I submit contracts from both companies for my visa application, or just one?
