I'm looking into the DTV. I'm an American digital nomad running a YT channel and online music teaching program as a sole proprietor. Pretty DIY so my proof of work would be my YouTube channel and teaching site. I'm not an LLC or anything. Will this cause any issues?

I have 2 questions in the bottom.

But for some explanation.

I am pending approval for the DTV

Requirements 1 to 4 I have.

I am only missing no 5

I have paid the fee and they wanted additional information regarding being a freelancer.

( I have been self-employed since I was young )

Most of my customers and wholesale is done online from Danish customers ( I been living in Bulgaria since 2020 )

I have provided additional documents showing statements of remote work.

( I hope that it will get approved ).

However IF the additional documents is not proof enough, maybe because my income from this source is diminishing.

My focus since I left Denmark, is more on my investments.

Sow if not approved I am ready to apply again an the use the Thai soft power approach.

Proof of confirmation to attempt the activity.

Under Eligible Foreingers is sad

2 participates in activities such as

- Thai cooking classes

- Muay Thai courses 

I called the embassy in Bucharest to ask about the 5b and what Thai cocking class school / classes will count towards no 5 b Thai soft power. ?

The only answer I got it was a question back, if I was a cook.

That confuse me !

Is this correct that if I want to apply via 5 b Thai soft power Thai cooking classes.

I shall be a Cook first ?

Next question will be if I choose to take Muay Thai courses

Do I have to be a karate black belt 

 hope somebody can clarify this for me or point me in a direction where it stayed it more clearly than in the picture below.

Thanks

Can a web design freelancer successfully obtain a DTV visa if they have a web portfolio but no clients (as of yet). I'm a web developer who'd like to switch to web design freelancing once I reach Thailand. However, I don't have any clients yet; just my freelancing website and two spec sites I've created (which look quite professional, if I do say so myself). If I apply and include screenshots of my three websites in a PDF when applying for a DTV, what are the chances I'll be approved without a first client? I should add that I can more than meet the financial requirements. Thanks.

Reaching out to freelancers who managed to get their DTV visa, and would like to ask about the portfolio they've presented. In the requirements it says "professional portfolio needed". Did you make a special portfolio page for the application? I'm not sure what kind of page would suffice. Or maybe a PDF will references would be enough? I own 3 websites for 3 digital services I'm providing, and no sure how to incorporate those in the application. If somebody could show me their portfolio that got accepted, I would be grateful - in PM it's OK if it's confidential. Thanks!

The embassy requested that I provide a business registration with the government as well as certification from my employer. I'm a self employed digital artist who sells directly to computer gamers. Any members out there run into this problem who can suggest a solution?

Hello, anyone holding Thai work permit before and change to DTV successfully? Work permit is too expensive and DTV is way cheaper.

Thank you

Can someone help me understand. The visa says “work prohibited” but what about when you apply as a remote worker as someone who works online. Obviously you can’t get a new job or start up a business there but are you still allowed to work in Thailand for your UK company? I’m just trying to make it make sense.

Hello. I'm working at a school in BKK and have a work permit, and the tax id. I'd like to do part-time remote work as a freelancer (non-teaching) and get paid to my thai bank account from clients overseas. Would it be fine? I'd like to do it legally, I'm willing to declare my income and pay tax. Can you suggest the way to do it? Normally, one would need to open a company and sponsor his work permit. But I do have a wp and don't think you can possess two. Any ideas appreciated. Thank you.

Hello guys, I have 2 questions about DTV visa

1- I am a newbie freelancer, I have contracts with my clients. Are contracts counted as enough to prove that you are a freelancer?

2- Is there any time duration rule (such as; 90 days) for required amount of money (at least 5000.000 THB) to stay in your account?

Thanks in advance 🙂

I need help🙏🏻

Thinking about getting a Dtv visa

•⁠ ⁠I have more than 500,000 baht in my account (it has been there for a long time).

•⁠ ⁠I don't really have any income in the last year because I mainly traveled.

•⁠ ⁠I’m self implored and want to work online later.

•⁠ ⁠Currently in Thailand, I have a visa until November 3.

•Open to go to a neighboring country if necessary.

•••Do I have a chance for a visa?

What makes me wonder is the fact that I didn't really have any income in the last year.

•••Anyone who was in a similar situation and got a visa?

Thanks for any help!!!🙏🏻
