Not sure about the documents I should prepare so I have some questions for 2 ways of doing it..

1) Would new business/individual activity registration and freelance portfolio be enough? Assuming I don’t have any tax returns, because it is new business.

2) Normal contract, no freelancer contract, where it is stated, that I can work remotely. Or do I also need to provide additional document from company, that I can work remotely?

Thank you 🙏

Could use some advice. I applied to us LA embassy as a freelancer, so I do not have a registered business. I attached a pdf with a cover letter to indicate I am a freelancer. But received the following back:

* Other request documents: Please upload a business registration of the company

* Other request documents: Please describe a business portfolio of the company

* Other request documents: Your recent tax return

* Other request documents: Employment contract or employment certificate from company

* Other request documents: Guarantee letter from the company implies that you work remotely

Majority of my work is with another company that is registered and I have a freelance contract with them. I could also have them easily write me a letter indicating I can work remotely. Would that be the best option moving forward? I am mostly confused about the document "Please describe a business portfolio of the company" as I thought the PDF below would suffice.

Many times it have been said here that working as digital nomad without a DTV, meaning on a visa waiver is not legal. Embassies tend to differ, I think, but I just found this news piece today, any thoughts?

Hi! I work remote, and am planning to get the DTV, but my employer keeps laying people off. I don’t want my salary AND my living situation to be based on the same unreliable employer for the next 5 years. If I was to get a 5 year education DTV, what education programs can I get into that have a low hourly requirement, and ideally a flexible schedule? I would need to plan it around working full time.

Thank you! I’d love any info you have.

French citizen in Thailand needs to apply for DTV soon. Remote worker. Where would be the best place to apply? If you provide a location, let me know also the delays.

Thanks.

I currently working for a company which allows remote work up to 60 days in a year if you have the right permissions to work in the host country (either citizenship, permanent resident, or valid work visa), so the position is not completely remote. Is it sufficient if I submit a screenshot of the company's remote work policy with my visa application? Anyone face any similar situation?

Hi, ChatGPT says that income from remote work from Thailand for foreign clients has to be fully taxed in Thailand (no matter if remitted or not). Is it true?

Asking for some help in how to apply with 2 sources of income from outside of Thailand. I work for a UK based company remotely - this is a zero hour/casual worker contract. However, I have worked for this company since 2023 and the work is ongoing. I can show this through payslips, teaching timetables, etc. I also work on an online teaching platform as a freelance teacher - I don't earn very much, but it shows I have worked with them for the past 2 years with a small top up income. As for savings, I have 20,000 pounds in a UK bank account, which has been there for around 2-3 month. I am a bit worried that my contract is zero hour and casual worker contract - do you think this will be an issue? For my freelance teaching work - does it matter that I don't earn very much from this? Any help would be great. Thanks.

Hi everyone,

I'm preparing to apply for the DTV (Destination Thailand Visa) and would appreciate your input.

I currently work remotely for a company based outside of Thailand, earning around $1,000 USD/month.

In addition, I receive $2,000 USD/month from renting out a property in my home country.

Both sources are well-documented — I have a work contract, bank statements, and a rental agreement.

I also meet the required bank balance of 500,000 THB.

👉 My question is:

Will this combination of income (remote work + rental income) be viewed positively by the embassy?

Specifically, does the rental income help support or strengthen the application?

Thanks in advance for sharing your experience or any insights 🙏

I am looking to get a retirement visa but also might be bored in retirement and pick up some remote work for a non Thai company. . Can I do this on a retirement visa? Thank you in advance.
