Does anyone have a list of docs that they submitted as professional freelancer portfolio that led to the approval of a DTV visa? Im a producer, I go to Asian countries like Korea and search for source material and unique IP to license and bring back to the US to pitch and remake in Hollywood.

Important to note my pay comes from closing deals, I’m not a 9-5 worker and some deposits from a closed deal are months in between.

Here’s what I have but unsure if it’s enough or even what they want;

-bank statements (Wise) that reflect more than the amount of 500,000 THB.

- a 2025, 1099 from one of the clients for a sale with amount of sale

- letters with letterheads from Hollywood producers and companies stating intentions to do business and what kind of business (format business) and with who (Webtoon, Tapas, Netflix, Gordon Ramsey, Teddy Zee, etc)

- Articles from Variety and Deadline that state my move to bring formats from Asia to the US

- my companies articles of organization as an LLC

- LinkedIn profile link

What else should include in this if any? This has been so confusing and was about to pay for a visa attorney to do it but thought I’d ask here first.

Any help would be super appreciated! Thanks! I’ll have to name anyone who helps in my next TV Drama 😂

Yesterday afternoon, I managed to open an account at SCB in the Airport Plaza in Chiang Mai.

It took three attempts, but in the end, it worked out.

First attempt: I asked what was required to open an account. They told me: passport, visa, certificate of residence, and a work permit.

When I pointed out that I didn’t have a work permit, they informed me that an account could be opened with the DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) for remote work and a translated employment contract for remote workers.

So, I got that done.

Second attempt: Of course, the information I received the first time wasn’t complete. On the second attempt, they told me I also needed a Thai tax ID.

So before my third attempt, I applied for one at the Revenue Department, explaining that I was on a DTV and intended to stay in Thailand for more than 183 days. They issued the tax ID for me.

Third attempt: With my certificate of residence, translated employment contract (which explicitly stated that I work remotely for my employer from Thailand and will stay for more than 183 days), visa, and tax ID, everything went smoothly and quickly.

Oh, and they didn’t try to sell me any unnecessary insurance!

My husband and I are in US and planning to apply for the DTV visas. I have a couple of questions and hoping this group can answer.

1. My husband works remotely and will continue to work for this company when we move. As a spouse, do I need to wait until he gets his visa in order for me to apply for mine?

2. One of the questions on the application is the address of a location we will be staying in Thailand. We have not been to Thailand yet. Do we need to have a place to live secured before applying for the visa? Could it be a hotel?

3. For the employment verification, do we need to get a letter from the company or would a paycheck stub or an offer letter when he got hired sufficient? He’s been working for this company just over a year.

Thank you in advance.

Hi! Thank you for welcoming me into your group. I am a therapist in MA and looking to move to Thailand around this time next year with the plan to work remotely with my current clients. I am a single mom with a daughter who will be graduating from high school next year. As I continue to do my research, I was told that the best visa option for me to pursue would be the DTV as it would allow me to work remotely and remain in the country longer before having to renew. Along with the other requirements, is this the best course to pursue? Thanks.

Do the Embassy contact with employer in DTV visa application process ?

I recently registered as a sole trader in the UK for my remote startup, which I plan to operate from Thailand if granted a visa.

It seems the embassy is asking for Ltd documents, but I’m not a Ltd and cannot provide what they are asking for.

I've built a website, although, to date, there are no invoices, no business name registered with HMRC (as it’s not possible online), and no way to provide the Thai Embassay with what they are asking for below.

Does anyone know how I can accurately respond to this requests?

So I work for an oil company and get 3-4 months on then get 3-4 months off. I’ve been living in Thailand since November. How can I get the dtv with this work schedule? Does this apply as workation? I’m back in my home country try at work atm but would like to get the visa before I return.

Hello everyone I've been in this group for a few years now but haven't frequented FB like I use to. We're finally making the move in July (visiting next month for 2 weeks to scope things out) but I'm getting in over my head about which visas to get for us (me, husband and 2 kids) i have my remote business so I think I can do the DTV, but I wanted us to learn thai at a school sp I was thinking the education visa, but I also have my masters and TEFL so I can teach english and get a work visa.... I wanted to actually relax for once and be work free and just enjoy my family for 3 months before going back to work but then I was reading that I have to apply for a work visa outside of Thailand? I was thinking do 3 months tourist visa and then apply for work visa...I feel like I'm making this harder than it needs to be. Just looking for some advice 🤗 thank you.

For the remote worker DTV, has anyone used a savings account without many transactions in/out other than accumulating interest?

I've been on maternity leave so I'm reluctant to post bank statements where I'm only withdrawing and not paying in. Wondering if it's smarter to just provide details from a savings account that I don't touch.

Hey guys, has anyone gotten a DTV for workcation in a situation similar to mine? My situation is that I’m currently not earning a monthly income and haven’t had much income in the last three months. However, I have a strong portfolio showing what I do and sufficient funds in my country’s bank account.

Another question: what should I fill in for the place of issue? My passport is Japanese and was issued in Osaka, Japan. Should I write “Osaka, Japan” ？
