can i apply for dtv if im 37 years old, i partly receive some early retirment pension (health condition) and i have some income from renting properties back in my country?
I requested documents from Canberra, and since I have two jobs, I was provided with both contracts and a letter stating that I’m allowed to work remotely from anywhere.
However, the Thai Embassy asked for the following, and I’m a bit confused:
1) I already provided the company number in the letter, but they seem to be asking for something more official, such as a Companies House Certificate of Incorporation or a Companies House Company Profile.
Has anyone experienced this, or can you clarify what exactly they are expecting?
2) They also seem to want another letter confirming that I’m allowed to work remotely while staying in Thailand.
My previous letter included my salary and highlight work from anywhere remotely — for this new letter, is it necessary to include salary again, or is it enough to simply confirm that remote work from Thailand is permitted?
Any advice from those who have applied would be greatly appreciated.
Planning to apply for DTV (Workcation) from Sydney in January. Wanted to get a sanity check from people who've been through it.
My situation:
* Australian passport, applying from Sydney
* Left my job in March (career break)
* Signed consultant agreement starting January 2025 (remote)
* 2 months of freelance income (September and December) via PayPal
* Savings 2-3x above the 500K THB requirement
* 7 years professional background (consulting).
My concern: I see 6 months of payslips listed as a requirement. I don't have that but I have strong savings and a signed contract.
Has anyone been approved with less than 6 months payslips if savings and contract were solid?
Also considering Soft Power (Muay Thai) as a backup but would prefer Workcation as I want to test gyms out when I am actually there. But if that's the better play, I can consider it.
Hi there, I'm about to apply this month for the DTV Workation from SPAIN (I fulfil the economic and remote work requirements), to relocate before mid-2026.
However, my couple will apply in a couple of months from now, and may struggle a bit more for the economical requirements. I'm totally supporting her and have funds for living both, but not sure if this is considered when she applies later (we're not married). I'm periodically sending money to her in small batches via joint-account to help her meet the criteria. She's self-employed in Spain and runs online shops, but sales are not going so good recently, and her income is not so high these days.
Do you think she may struggle to get accepted for the DTV Workation as having low income now; or source of minimum funds be challenged?
In case she gets denied, should be an option for her to reapply short after but for SOFT POWER instead? The thing is that we would stay for 7-10 months in Thai, but we will live in different places during this period, as want to know different regions. I don't have much knowledge about the DTV soft-power requirements. Any help will be much appreciated 🙇 Thxx!
