✨ DTV Visa (Thailand Workation) Update ✨

• 7 September: Applied at the Thai Embassy in Frankfurt

• 15 September: Embassy requested additional documents

• They asked for a professional portfolio as part of the process

• 29 September: ✅ Visa approved! 🎉

Sharing this in case it helps others — be prepared that proof of professional activity (like a portfolio) may be requested.

Feeling extra lucky because my flight is already booked for 1 October ✈️🇹🇭

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.

After my separation we also lost our visa for Thailand by end of June 😞

I applied for a Worcation Visa at the Munich Consulate. Sent them all requested documents (some of them just in German). After 10 days they requested a "professional portfolio". I sent my portfolio via the platform and within 3 hours my visa was approved.

Immediately I applied with my approved visa the child visa for my 16 yr old daughter. I could not deliver a 500.000 Baht (15.000 Euro) bank account statement, because she is not 18 years old. I sent instead a sponsor letter, that I will be in charge for all costs etc.

7 days later her visa also was approved.

A big Thank you to the Munich Consulate. The did NOT just rejected like obviously other Consulats. They asked for further documents. I delivered and they approved immediately.

Also during Covid I just had outstanding experiences with the Munich Consulate. Thanks again to them! 🙏

Hey hi thanks for adding me..

I’m currently in the Uk filling in my DTV application.

I’m self employed digital designer.

Does anyone have template or examples of the section

Employment contract or employment certificate in there country or professional portfolio

Section as self employed person ??

Many thanks

For my DTV e-visa application, should I include my YouTube and digital-work income in my portfolio PDF, or submit it separately in the income section along with bank statements showing over 500,000 THB?

And should the professional portfolio be a single PDF containing the cover letter, CV, and all attachments?

Hello

I'm interested in applying DTV to get 180 days stay permit in Thailand. i have checked all the requirements and i have no problem with them except the professional portfolio requirement. Had anyone experienced this before you start a digital nomad life but you need the portfolio now to enter Thailand?

This group has been very helpful to me when I was a clueless freelance worker (e.g. making income from etsy, fiverr) that didn't know how to go about with the documents to upload to prove my employment! So I made a youtube video sharing how I presented my professional portfolio, proof of income with invoices etc... Hopefully this video will help anyone like me :)

Hello, a bit of help.

I applied for the DTV for WorkCation as a remote worker Employee. I work from home for a company and get paid bi-weekly. I originally submitted, employee contract with stated permission to work in thailand, as well as my bank statements.

i applied a couple weeks ago and just received my first email back from them and it states they want resume and professional portfolio.

Since i applied as an employee. How should I go about this?

Looking for constructive feedback on my prepared portfolio index below. Will be traveling at the weekend to HCMC to apply for DTV Freelance. Anything missing or too much info?
