Hey guys! Great initiative to open this group!!!

I have a few questions as a Dutch man.

With DTV visa, can one stay more than 180 days a year with a border crossing? Or only with an extension?

What would i need to show if I work for myself and pay myself?

I heard about reporting every 90 days, what does this mean? I need to report where and with which documents?

Does anyone have any examples of the employer letters you use for DTV....especially people that are going to be doing freelance for their own company?

Requesting help with what "authenticated" means for a Thai embassy. There are multiple types of stamps possible from Canadian embassy.

I'm going to be in Malaysia and thinking of applying for DTV visa in Kuala Lumpur as self-employed. On the embassy website page -- [members only] -- they list under requirements that documents must be "authenticated by the embassy of the country where the company is located."

I am Canadian and our embassy offers multiple authentication / certification / notarial services. Does anyone have experience with what the Malaysian embassy might require for "authentication"? I don't have an employment contract, but I have business registration and contracts with clients.

Greetings! Would anyone have any experience applying for a visa to be a self-employed musician in Bangkok?There is clearly a great deal of work available for musicians wishing to play at bars/hotels around Thailand, but I would like to do it legally and obtain the correct paperwork. In comparison, in the UK I can register as a self employed musician, then declare my earnings once each year, which decides how much tax I pay. Easy peasy. The Thai system is no doubt different, and I’m wondering if there is anything similar to this available in Thailand for non-Thais? Is anyone (farang) registered self employed at present?

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
