good morning, I have a question on the DTV.

I am Italian citizen, 55yo, regularly employed in Germany with good income, can I apply for a DTV in order to have a visa which allow me to stay in Thailand for 120-150 days a year?

Is there any other requirement rather than to prove that I have a job with a sufficient income, in my home country?

I was wondering if anyone that’s come in with remote working DTV and then changed jobs (still overseas company)? What do you do in that situation? Is there somewhere you can just changed the company / with new company letter of approval / salary etc?

My spouse and I (unmarried) are applying for the dtv next month. My spouse is the owner of the company we operate and I am the agent. I do not receive a “salary” as we primarily use one account. The company is real estate related and we have many contracts from previous clients through it. I do all of the admin. We will be applying in the US through the Washington embassy. I’m just trying to figure out what exactly we will need to submit and put together for next month so that we can be prepared. Does anyone have any advice/experience on how to make this a smooth process?

Does anyone have a similar situation like this? I have two citizenships - Vietnamese and Serbian. My remote work contract and my bank account are all serbian and have info from my serbian passport. I want to apply for DTV from Hanoi where I live rn. Should I apply using my serbian passport or vietnamese passport?

Thailand Work Visa to DTV Experience?

I was just curious if anyone has had any experience where they were working in Thailand through a work visa, and wanted to shift to freelancing for foreign clients while still staying in Thailand.

DTV (workation) seems like the way to go in this case but I'm wondering if they're looking for an existing history of freelance already in order to grant DTV in this case.

If my last freelance gig was from 5 years ago, is this still good enough? Or would it be better for me to return home first and get freelance gigs and then try to apply after a more recent history of freelance. Thanks for your opinions everyone :D

Has anyone worked with a legitimate lawyer for a DTV visa? Only looking for actual experience and recommendations, not people advertising themselves to me. I'm going to have a combination of some remote income, student loans for my masters program (fully online) and maybe 8-10k in my bank account. I just dont see me getting the minimum balance in for 3 months with my timeline. My kids dad is moving there for work and we want to make sure the kids start at the beginning of the school year. I could marry him for a non O but honestly I really dont want to 😭

Applied (from Japan) for soft power DTV (health & wellness); cancelled for "... docs do not meet .requirement for DTV". Used mult forums & AI to mirror examples from people that were approved for the same thing (in last 2 months). These were applicants with less financial stability, so maybe it depends on the consulate?

Reapplying under freelance as a portfolio manager, which is a significant amount of income, but not sure if they will accept. As you have to uploaded financial docs in a previous block; I wrote a letter for "Remote worker, foreign talent or freelancer status" detailing my freelancer status.

Is this second attempt a bad mark for me?

If rejected/cancelled, should I go through an agent? I'm close to $700 down on this already and would like to not lose more money without a good explanation.

Should I get the METV for now, wait until I turn 50 (next year) & apply for non-DTV options that I am 100% qualified for?
