Hey Everyone!

My wife and I are both freelance online teachers and are considering applying for the DTV Visa in the Workcation category. However, we can’t find accurate information regarding applying separately for the Workcation visa vs having one of us apply for that type and the other apply for the spousal visa.

Does anyone know if you are legally allowed to work (online, not in Thailand) if approved for the spousal visa? I searched the group first, but haven’t seen anything.

Thank you. 🙏

Can foreigners live in Thailand for long term?

What job to do please?

I only have thai bank account but it's not under the name of my company, is it okay?

I don't make much from freelancing and I have two freelancing jobs. One is designing (which allows me to provide an online portfolio) and one is tutoring (which is where my limited income comes from, and my invoices relate to).

Will it likely complicate things too much if I present myself as having both of these freelancing jobs?

It's the only real way I can show income and also a portfolio

I just got approved my DTV visa 😊 Is it normal to say employment prohibited when applying as a Freelancer?

Approved in 3.5 business days from Jakarta.

Wasn't asked for any additional docs.

I had done a 12 month education visa in Thailand in 2023, so I thought they might ask to see my passport pages. They never asked in the end.

I found an awesome site for pdfs. Much faster than some other more popular sites

Good luck to everyone 🍀

I recently exited my full-time software developer job and planning to freelance now in the same field. I have good bank balance but what documents I can show as a freelancer?

Hi everyone!

I’m a software engineer working as a freelance and I am planning to apply for the DTV workcation visa.

I have 6 months of statements for my freelance account and proof of savings accounts overs 160k CAD (110k USD).

Is that sufficient for the visa application (to prove freelance activity AND financial situation) or is there anything else to improve my luck in the selection process ?

Has anyone applied for DTV as a Freelancer? I know about the portfolio and invoices that need to be shown. I have also seen some forums talking about tax returns as well and want to know if proof of taxes is required.

Visa approved 🤩 just wanted to share my experience, as I found some helpful tips in this fb group!

- I applyed from France on march 8 (with french passport) ⏳

- They requested for further documents on march 13 at 5PM: my picture wasn’t in the correct format ❌

- Visa approved on march 14 at 1PM ✅

Regarding my situation: I work as freelance for a few years and have my self-employed company (auto-entreprise).

What I provided:

- a letter (french and english) explaining my freelance activity, links to my website and Linkedin profile, and listing the documents included in my visa application. —> I mentioned that I don’t have a bank statement for this month from my savings account because it’s a low-activity account, used mostly for saving. I sent a statement from february. And I included a recent statement from my current account showing monthly transactions for my income and expenses. I also provided my bank’s direct phone number for any further questions.

- A portfolio (in english only) of 12 pages presenting my services, some of my clients (with screenshots showing some projects or dashboards), reviews from my clients, again the links to my website and LinkedIn page, a recent invoice sent to one of my client + with a bank statement showing that payment. For the portfolio, I took a template on Canva and rebranded it to match with my business.

- A certificate from my bank showing the balance of my accounts dates on 8 march.

- Insee French certificate regarding my freelance company.

- and of course : passport, photo, internet invoice.

I was supposed to wait 3-4 weeks before getting an answer! They did it actually very fast!
