Hello 👋

I searched on my problem but found nothing.

I'm going to try DTV as a self employed person. I am a mental health therapist and my clients are mainly in France. But during my trip here (3 months), I had several requests for consultations from French and other nationalities, expatriates and travelers. So my question is: does the DTV allow me to work with clients of any nationality except Thai? Or am I not allowed to work with anyone within Thailand?

Thanks for your answers 😊

Hi all,

The Thai Embassy has returned with a request for more information:

A letter explaining how I will work remotely while in Thailand?

Does this mean I just need to make an "official" letter myself. Explaining I will work out of a co-working space from my laptop? Any more details needed?

Me and my significant other aim to move to Thailand in a few months. We make music full time which makes around 7k a month gross, though we are considering doing a soft power (we don't officially run a registered business, very DIY). We have always shared funds from my account. Since we are self employed and share funds, what is the best course of action for obtaining a DTV for both of us?

We have the 500k baht each and make a good amount to our (my) main account, so not really a money issue - maybe just in the wrong places. Is there a monthly requirement for how much she should be making a month? What are the exact requirements for a soft power as far as income and documentation? Should we apply in the USA beforehand or try from Vietnam like many have suggested?

I'm mainly just looking for overall advice to our unique situation, and a general best course of action. Any advice is appreciated.

Hello,

I am preparing my documents for my application & I see that a letter from your registered company is recommended. But what if you are self employed as a sole proprietor?

Does anyone have experience as a “digital nomad” working for themselves (private practice therapist) using the DTV? It looks like one of the requirements is working for a big company which I don’t.

Hi guys,

Can you be self employed in Thailand?

In the uk I worked as a business consultant and part time teacher of business management. I was thinking of offering private/one to one business and English tutoring from my home or remotely, can I do that? And if so what visa would I need? I’m currently here as married to Thai wife. Don’t want to go through the hassle of setting a business up here, with all the conditions that come with that.

Thanks in advance!
