Is it possible to apply for a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) without a registered business? I work as a freelancer and, due to being below the taxation minimum bracket in my home country, I’m not legally required to register a business.

I can provide the following supporting documentation:

• A portfolio showcasing my work.

• A client list with active contracts.

• Bank statements demonstrating regular income from clients.

Would this be sufficient for a successful application? I plan to apply in Ho Chi Minh City.

How can I provide YouTube Content Creator as my Professional portfolio showcasing digital nomad?

How about steps neccessary to get a non o marriage visa without an agent. Can my Thai wife assist in the bank deposit procedure. And can I skip the deposit with a years worth of income statement greater than 40,000 baht per month. Lastly is there a printout at immigration with clear cut direction on how to complete all the necessary documents?

Applied online in Vietnam showing over 6k net usd in take home income for last 6 months but they are still asking for 2 years tax return..others running into this?

Has anyone been able to obtain their DTV as a digital nomad/freelance solely using their NON MONETIZED YouTube channel as a portfolio? If you have, I would love to hear about how you did it. Thanks in advance.

I am currently a DTV visa holder and applied for my spouse under the dependent category on Monday, including a sponsorship letter. However, the consular requested additional documents to clearly show my salary income in the bank statement I submitted. Since my salary is paid by my home country bank in mmk currency, I used my Bangkok Bank account for the statement. To address the request, I submitted my last six pay slips, highlighted the currency exchange transactions in the bank statement, and provided a clarification letter. Has anyone else experienced a similar situation?

DO you have to have 800,000 in a Thai bank account plus the income stream or is it, you have one or the other?

DTV Success Story

I was granted a DTV visa from the consulate in Taipei. After being granted, I then submitted for my wife and 2 year old son, both as dependents, which were also approved! I applied under the workation category. Along with my passport and visa application, here are the other documents I submitted-

-3 months of bank statements

-letter from my employer stating I could work remotely and all of my work was for companies outside of Thailand

-Employment contract

-Employers Article of incorporation

-Because my bank statements were long, they also asked I submit a separate statement from the same bank account which only listed the deposits from my employer. I get paid on a per project basis, so I think they also asked for this because the payments come in on random dates so it would have been a bit tedious for them to review my entire statements to find them.

-savings account statement which had 502,000 bhat in it

-Passport photograph

For my wife and son I only had to submit their passports, visa applications, photographs, birth certificate for son, marriage certificate for wife, copy of my DTV visa, copy of my passport, and the same financials I submitted for my visa. I was told at the counter they actually probably wouldn’t need the financials since I was already approved for my DTV but kept them with their applications just in case.

My visa was granted within 24 hours of applying. The next day I submitted wife and son’s docs and visa was also granted within 24 hours. All in all my experience in Taipei was phenomenal! I know stipulations could change anytime, but for the time being, I highly recommend the Thai consulate in Taipei.

Hi All,

Apologies if this has been asked a million times but..

I have a trip booked for Vietnam early November, where I plan to apply for DTV.

Two questions: although I have a letter stating I do some freelance marketing work in the UK, a lot of my income comes from English teaching online via Preply. Preply don’t give out contracts so I can only show an income from there.. Will both options suffice?

Second Question: is the application for the DTV from the same website in all cases and it just depends on your location when applying?

Oh, and is a week long enough for this process does anyone know.

TIA 😉😊
