How do people find working UK hours 8/9am to 4/5pm UK time over in thailand?

Is additional evidence needed for DTV workcation? It states employment contract, but mine does no state in the contract remote work.

Work off shore and or marine vessels ...all.ovefmr and can still run jobs on laptop ... ca. This pass for dtv as im here more then therr ?

Hi everyone, can anyone tell me if a network marketing business qualifies for DTV? Thanks.

My husband and I are considering moving to Thailand, but we have never been. Has anyone successfully left the US and moved to Thailand without ever visiting? Please share your experience

Hello, I have a couple of questions about DTV. Any advice would be appreciated.

1. I see comments from this group saying that it is harder to get visas approved at the Hong Kong embassy comparing to the others. I wonder if that's the case only for foreigners in Hong Kong or is that for everyone. I am from Macau btw. I don't really want to travel if I dont need to.

2. I work remotely. Would it improve my chances for DTV if I pay for one of those soft power classes?

thanks

Any Dutch people here that got the Workation DTV owning their own business in a working company + personal holding structure?

Did you apply as self-employed or as remote worker? As legally you’re employed by your personal holding?

What happens if you trade stocks or crypto while on a dtv is that considered working or, or could that be a way for income while you are there?

Hi everyone.

I got my DTV approved today, applying from Hong Kong. A post here (which I think has been deleted unfortunately) really helped me with my application, so I’m paying it forward and detailing what I submitted.

I’m a solo trader, no clients, just an Interactive Brokers account. I aimed to be as detailed as possible in my application, and my professional portfolio ended up totaling 20 pages.

I included:

1. Declaration of Remote Work, saying that my work was all done online, and I would not have any business dealings in Thailand.

2. Evidence for Digital Tools, I included invoices and screenshots from TradingView, Notion and a market newsletter.

3. Summary of Professional Income, I explained my 2025 year to date profits on Interactive Brokers, including starting and balance, profits, and what I traded. My profits are well in excess of what is needed for the minimum amount in your bank account, which I stressed in the application.

4. Brief summary of my nomad lifestyle, I added two points for why Thailand - I’ve been learning Thai since February and am interested in meditation. I included screencaps of my Thai language learning online.

5. Cover Letter

6. CV

7. University graduation certificate

8. Trading Strategy Summary and Financial Statements (6 months)

9. Trading Strategy Sample (I had an offer for a hedge fund job in Hong Kong so I included a few screencaps of the work I did for them)

Note that I submitted 5-9 in the first batch, they requested more info so I submitted 1-4 to try and address their concerns.

My design was:

1. To be as professional as possible. All formatting was done professionally and with care. I ran everything through AI for typos and errors

2. To leverage on my professional and educational credentials as much as possible, because I was worried I had no clients/book of business

3. On my second submission, I wanted to make clear of the remote nature of my work, do a clearer summary of my financial income, and make myself human

Anyone applied DTV for Remote worker or Freelance category (Not softpower skill) right after expiration of ED Visa ?? 🤔

I’m actually holding ED visa and has remote job (I know it’s not good).

In case that I will be asked to submit last a few months payslips, I would be suspected that I work remotely with ED visa ….?? 🤔

Do you think I should apply DTV for soft power skill category ?

I couldn’t find anyone asking same question this group in the past. Need your thought thank you 🙂
