DTV Visa : Photographer / Videographer

Hi all, can someone please explain how come freelancer (photographer / videographer) do not qualify for DTV if their clients are based abroad, and not working for any local based (Thai) clients.

Does "artist" qualify for DTV in that case? I can show a portfolio of images for exhibition in galleries.

Thanks for your help.

I'm a videographer hoping to apply for the DTV visa as a freelancer. Would links to recent examples of my work on Vimeo cover me for my portfolio? Thinking of including these links in a cover letter. That explains my professional set up, along with some recent invoices for one off clients and contracts for a couple of upcoming events I've booked in. All of which are outside of Thailand. Does this sound like it will meet the criteria? Have any other videographers or content creators been able to get the DTV yet?
