Hello everyone! i’m currently in thailand and planning to apply for DTV on the freelancer track. I do know I need to leave the country to apply. I’m making this post looking for anyone with a similar work situation who applied as I’m finding lots of conflicting information about what documents will be sufficient and how likely I am to be approved. I am from the US if country of origin is important.

I am a contract data analyst and right now I’m working for just one client (on a contract basis but more or less full time work). I have a contract with this company and a few months history of invoices and matching deposits in my bank account. I’m not registered as a business so one of my concerns is that they’ll ask for some proof of incorporation. I also saw one post here where they requested 6 months of invoices but I currently have only 3 months with this client. Do you think that will be sufficient? Is it worthwhile to hire a law firm to file the application for me?

I’m also considering getting my divemaster soon-ish so if you don’t think my work situation will pan out, I would go for the soft-power scheme (which it seems is less complicated?) Any advice on that track?

Another question I have is which country would be best to apply from? I’ve seen some posts here of people applying from Vietnam but Americans don’t get visa on arrival for Vietnam so that may complicate things. Are Laos or Cambodia good options?

Thank you so much in advance for reading and sharing your knowledge 🙏🏼🙏🏼☺️

DTV - Soft Power

I am unemployed and have just over 500k in my account. Another 400k invested. Will that be enough? Has anyone been accepted like this?

I get support from my family. Not regularly, though, so I don't want to give it as income.

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.

Hi, what documents I need to apply in Thai embassy in Laos for Dtv? And for my spouse, who will be dependent?

Thank you in advance 😊

Hi, I got rejected today in HCMC, which I read everyone on the group and pretty much understand that no one know the reasons. But Can anyone tell me when I can reapply again?

And also if you have any suggestions please let me know.

Ps. I submitted documents as they asked for

Hey everyone! 🙋‍♂️ Has anyone applied for the Soft Power Visa at the Hanoi Embassy and had it processed in *one go*? 🌏 What documents did you submit? Would love to hear your experience!

To those of you who have successfully applied for the soft power option of the DTV what did you provide as proof of "Document indicating current location"? In the past for Tourist eVisa applications I have provided an electricity or water bill.

Hey guys I am currently applying for a DTV visa. For the proof of free lancer status document

Will an engagement letter between the companies I offer my services to and also invoices up 4 months will be enough to prove free lancer status ?

Cheers

Applying for the DTV via the HCMC consulate I was only able to to add one document per category, so for showing proof of employment I was only able to add my resume showing my freelancer status. I was not able to add my invoices from my client. Is my resume going to be enough?

I'm planning to apply under the digtial nomad / freelancer category and was going to submit the following documents. I'm a programmer.

Are there any other documents I should include?

Thanks!

- Proof of employment letter (I work for myself and have a company but made one and signed it since I heard that's what people are doing

- Articles of incorporation (shoing I own the company)

- Letter stating I can work from anywhere, including Thailand, and have no business in Thailand

- 3 Months bank statments

- Pics of all passport pages

- Taiwan Immigartion Entry/Exit data form

- CV + Portfolio

Edit:

I was also submitted the following

- cover letter

- 1 client invoice with proof of payment with a bank statement (about 10k USD)

In the interview I was asked why I wanted to go to Thailand, why I didn't just get a multi entry visa, and about what I do for work and who my clients are.
