Which embassies have approved or rejected DTV applications as stock trader or managing your own financial assets for workcation? How was the activity framed in the cover letter, something like a professional financial asset manager?

I searched the group and found a few replies in the group claiming approval but they shared no details. I saw a few replies claiming the LA, D.C., and London embassies, but again without details. Or could someone please direct me to the posts that do discuss this in detail?

The Chicago embassy said on the telephone that it was not a valid type of work for the DTV visa, so I'm wondering if applying to Jakarta from Bali, or in Vietnam to Hanoi or Ho Chi Mihn City would be better, or somewhere else?

Since these are self managed brokerage accounts, I have no contracts or employment documents. I'm not going to setup a business registration for this, and I don't want to go with soft power activities.

Trading activity is more like monthly instead of daily, but frame it as daily research. I was thinking of providing the annual tax summary and account transactions for the past 5 years for the professional portfolio.

What happens if you trade stocks or crypto while on a dtv is that considered working or, or could that be a way for income while you are there?

Guys, I’m a stock investor, made $250k on paper last year. Can I get a dtv as an entrepreneur? I’m all working for myself with my personal stock account.

Hello,

I'm from New Delhi, India. Have been to Thailand for more than 7 times and I just love Thailand. I want to stay in Thailand for longer and planning to apply for DTV visa. I got money equivalent to much more then the needed money in my account but most of the money is in Fixed deposits. I do stock trading and online teaching. Should I apply for DTV in New Delhi on my own or should I do it through an agency in Thailand ? Will it be okay if I have money in fixed deposits? I would really appreciate if someone could answer my questions.

Hello all, any traders (stocks, futures) here with an approved DTV visa ? I have asked several times the Thai embassy in Germany if a stock portfolio (around 50k €) is valid as proof of work. They don’t answer me.
