Please correct me if this is completely wrong or just a puerile question, but do I get it right that, no matter via which Embassy you apply, it's likely that DTVisa applications for Digital Nomads where the applicant is forcing to keep doing his/her remote job abroad are supposed to hand work contracts/arrangements, portfolios (or just one of the last three ones) AND documents that show monthly income (based on their profession) while DTV applications of people who are willing to participate in Thai Soft Powers (like cooking class or Muay Thai course) are "only" supposed to include a bank account that is well balanced (B 500,000, for the past three months at least) and the confirmation of that particular Thai soft power/cultural course?

Sometimes it seems unpredictable which argumentation is received well by the Thai embassies.

Is it counterproductive to include proof of a remote job arrangement of your company (thus, a monthly income) when you are determined to "only" participate in a Muay Thai course? Some Embassies can be very erratic when it comes to the constellation of your application's legend 🙄

Thanks so much for your attention!

Anyone applied as a company owner without actual emplyment contract and dividends as "salary" payments?

DTV Visa Madrid consulate on Mexican passport as a remote worker.

Applied on August 4, three days later I got an email from the consulate asking me for a letter in which I explained how intended to earn money while I’m in Thailand, they also asked for a document called “Vida laboral” (social security enrolment confirmation and history of contributions).

I replied immediately and they got back to me a couple of hours after that asking me for tickets from Europe to Thailand. The consulate approved my visa in Friday evening, took 5 working days and entered chiang mai today, no questions asked at immigration.

Hello

I just moved to Bangkok and became a freelancer. I also love muay thai and would like to train during my stay here. So basically I would be elegible to DTV remote worker and DTV Muay Thai.

I have been told that getting DTV muay thai would be easier in my situation. But is it ok for me to get DTV Muay Thai while working as a freelance?

Thanks in advance for your feedback!

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.

APPROVED - Los Angeles, 5 hours. I didn’t believe it could happen, but it happened last week. I read dozens reports of 30+ days, and saw one or two of <48 hours. My goal was to try to get this right on the first run.

This group helped me a lot so I wanted to add more info. Context - im an entrepreneur with business partners so it was a little bit more complex, but spent a good 5 hours getting everything properly in order. Here’s what I provided for the Workation DTV:

* Passport biodata

* Drivers license

* 3 months of bank statements with 6 figures of funds, with name and address matching license

* Cover letter on company letterhead explaining who I am, my company, explaining that I can work remotely, and confirming that I will not to any work in Thailand for outside companies or within the Thai labor market

* company registration documents (articles of organization)

* documents proving my ownership in this business

* one page visual portfolio of my company

* my LinkedIn profile one pager image

I've been coming to Thailand for 2 or 3 weeks holiday each year for more than 20 years - I run my own business back in Australia so always need to work a few hours each day when I'm here. I have downsized my business significantly so it can be managed remotely and now only work up to 10 hours per week. I intend spending much more time in Thailand in the coming years so am looking at DTV. With showing 500kTHB is it acceptable to show that (more than) in share holdings or does it have to be a bank account?

Also, is it OK to have a combination of income and bank account similar to what can be done with retirement visa? Thanks all for any advice.

We're considering the DTV or education visa. Or tourist re entry and would love some advice.

My partner works remotely as well as in person in Australia

We have a 2.5yo and I don't "work".

Together 15 years but not married.

We have a 12 month lease, have brought a car and bike, have a tm30 and letter from immigration proving our residence (needed it to buy the car in our name)

A couple of questions:

- For sponsorship is defacto relationships considered or need to be married?

- if he will be flying too and from australia every month or so for work will tourist re-entry suffice or is that limited to number of times per year

- will coming too and from be an issue if he does receive the dtv visa?

We have someone in thailand helping us recommending education visa for myself and my daughter and dtv for him but would love others experiences.

Thank you 🫶

Soft power activity that's getting approved?

I was all set to apply for my DTV, got the money in the bank and a remote job, however I just realised that my job needs to be in my own country, which it's not. I could set up a Ltd company in my own country an pay myself, but that involves waiting another 3 months, so, I'm thinking of applying with a soft power course, but I've seen a few people get rejected on soft power, so which activities are getting approved?

Does anyone know if I can apply for DTV with my Forex/share market trading?
