I have a business income (realestate comission) i can manage it online , do i need muya thai registration(thai softpower) ?

Will iam considered as freelancer because my business is online ? So no need for muya thai right?

Anyone has business income and did yall avoid muya Thai ?

Thanks so much for answering my questions. Finally I got my DTV in Vietnam. Feel free to ask me any questions. (Only polite people are welcome)

Hi, I applied for DTV under workcation category last week. Today, I received an email for interview in Karachi embassy. I earn via Upwork and already posted my personal bank statement and Upwork earning statement. What documents shall I take with me on the day of interview? Please guide anyone who had an interview themselves.

Also, my bank balance and Upwork earning updated from last week (increased). Shall I take new ones issued or just the last ones which I submitted for visa application?

All of your testimonials helped me a lot, so it's my turn to come back here.

Visa application made on September 1st in France, for a DTV workcation (e-shop) thanks to all the advice read here and following the recommendations of thaiembassy.fr I just received tonight the famous "We would like to inform you that your e-Visa application has been approved" 😍

No additional application, and visa approved in 16 days 🙏🏼

Good luck to all of you 🤗

Tous vos témoignages m’ont beaucoup aidée, alors à mon tour de faire un retour ici.

Demande de visa faite le 1er septembre en France, pour un DTV workcation (e-shop) grâce à tous les conseils lus ici et en respectant scrupuleusement les recommandations de thaiembassy.fr. je viens de recevoir ce soir le fameux « We would like to inform you that your e-Visa application has been approved » 😍

Pas de demande complémentaire, et visa approuvé en 16 jours 🙏🏼

Bonne chance à vous tous 🤗

Additional Details : Basically I would like to stay in Thailand and do some work (research on my own) and study online to gain new skills without getting paid. Which visa I could get. I was under the impression that DTV is a tourist visa for long term.

Original post:

I'm applying for DTV from Toronto. I'm not working since April. I plan to select "workcation" under purpose of visit and wonder what option I should choose in occupation category which has options like Unemployed, freelance, remote. I was hoping I would be considered under foreign talent category since I have a PhD in Science and past experience with biotechnology. I will be doing some independent research from Thailand. I have sufficient bank balance. I wonder are there documents I should attach other than my Resume, PhD Certificate. Would that be enough ? is being unemployed going to be a problem. Thanks !

DTV Approved in Fukuoka, Japan 🇯🇵

9/9 - Submitted online application for workcation (freelance)

* Passport Page

* Visa Photo (I used the same as my passport as my passport is brand new)

* Page screenshots from my professional website and digital portfolio showing my work (I'm a creative)

* Contract with one client + screenshot of an email where I had an agreement with another client

* Official bank statement from the bank showing my current balance + digital banking screenshot to show 3 months worth

* Payslips from clients as well as corresponding deposits highlighted from my bank statement just to show that I'm actually getting paid (different bank so different screenshot to above)

9/10 - Additional documents requested (flight ticket proof & accommodation in Bangkok)

* I am staying with my mother who is a Japanese national with a work permit in Thailand for the past 20 years

* I submitted a copy of her rental agreement with the landlord that covers the duration of my stay, her passport copy and her Thai work permit copy just in case

9/11 - Approved!

I was quite worried I wouldn't get it after reading so many posts about rejections + people getting a METV instead but I didn't think I would get it this fast🥹 For reference, I'm a Japanese national living in Tokyo. I chose the Fukuoka consulate as I read that the Tokyo consulate is one of the most difficult consulates.

*Edit: Added more details in case it helps any future applicants. *

I got a 6 month valid tourist visa (METV) instead of DTV!

I applied for DTV under the workcation route. What would their reasoning be behind this?

Hi group! I'm getting prepared to apply for a DTV and have a few questions.

I'd like to apply through the Jakarta office as I'll be in Indonesia soon, but on Sulawesi, not in Jakarta. Do I physically need to go to the Jakarta office, or can I apply fully online from another region of Indonesia?

I'm thinking of applying for the workcation as I'm under contract with an online teaching company, but I'll only have one or two months of pay to show. Those who have gone through Jakarta - how many months of income did you need to show? (I'm coming off of a non-b visa, so it's a transition time which is why I'll only have a couple months of recent online pay. I've also plenty of savings to show, so that aspect isn't an issue).

My other option is doing a soft power. I saw that "seminars" was an option. Has anyone done this one? What does it entail?

Thank you everyone! 🙏

Approved in one day by the London embassy.

Applied Friday late afternoon.

Additional documents requested.

Sent those half an hour later.

Approval email came through Tuesday evening.

Long and short of it: Applied for the workacation category. Had the 500k thb spread across different accounts so sent bank statements from the past few months for current, biz and ISA. Sent a random selection of invoices from the past few years to show business viability. Wrote a quick letter saying I authorise myself to work remotely. Sent first page of incorporation documents and tax doc (just a letter saying it’s time to file). Sent drivers license and internet bill with address.

Additional documents requested were a formal letter addressed to the embassy introducing myself and my work, and stating I won’t be concerned with Thai laws or work with Thai clients. Also requested full company incorporation documents stating my name and position.

Prepared a formal letter and downloaded my incorporation documents direct from the public register. There was the option to order a certified copy of these but I just downloaded the pdf and sent that.

Approved.

I am applying for the workcation DTV.

I have my own business and proof of business registration in the UK.

Can someone tell me exactly what other documents I need to include please.

I want to make sure I do not miss a single thing.

Thanks in advance
