They require additional documents."Employment certificate must indicate for your remote worker", I already sent them the contract.And my boss didn't want to sign the statement as I'm not going to be an employee when I'm freelancer. What other documentation do I need to provide to verify that I can work remotely? How should I do that? Please recommend me.☹️

Hello, I got my DTV approved yesterday and I would like to thank all of you for the information and help that is provided in this forum.

Here are the steps of my application, if it can be useful for anybody:

11/12 applied online through the Rome embassy and provided all the documents required under the workcation (remote worker) category.

13/12 request to upload additional information such as “Updated Official bank statement showing applicant's details and current available balance of not less than 500,000 THB” (I had uploaded a bank statement which dated back to October and a screenshot of my current balance) and “ticket departing”

17/12 approval

Now the next challenge will be to open a bank account, and I know it won’t be easy at all, or eventually impossible.

But this is another story 🙂

Thanks a lot again

I applied 3 days ago for The DTV visa.These are the documents I sent in my application :

Financial evidence:

- November bank statement of my Moroccan Bank with arround 310 000 THB (in 30 november).

- Three bank statement of Payoneer bank (US Bank): 209 000 THB (in 5 December).

Employment contract or employment certificate:

- Certificate of Earning downloaded from UPWORK ( it's mentioned that I am freelancer and signed by Upwork ).

- Weekly invoices of the last three months.

Today, I received an email asking for these documents:

- Financial evidence: amount of no less than 500,000 THB, e.g. bank statements, sponsorship letter : Please upload the latest bank savings account indicating applicant's name with amount of no less than 500,000 THB. Do Not upload screenshot file.

- Employment contract or employment certificate in their country or professional portfolio showcasing digital nomad, remote worker, foreign talent or freelancer status : Please upload professional portfolio showcasing digital nomad.

What is the maximum time to upload the new documents requested ?

If there is someone that experienced the same thing, please advice 🙏.

DTV approved in Sweden. I applied 13/12 at 16:08 and today, 16/12 at 10:29 I got a request for documents. They wanted payslips and a document proving I am a remote worker. It says in my employment contract that I can work remotely, but I also sent a letter from my CEO stating explicitly that I am a remote worker. At 16:18 I got the visa approved. Extremely fast handling by the Thai embassy in Stockholm.

Hi guys

I am already half a year in Thailand.

I have a BOI-Visa which will be cancelled from the Company in January. I already have a new Remote-Job, where i can start working soon. Is it easy now to apply for DTV-Visa ? Its needed to leave Thailand ? Its possible just to change my Visa and Work Permit to the new Company which is in Europe ?

Hey all, hope to get some advice.

I am a software engineer and run a ecommerce business on the side for a year now. Hence after saving enough money, I want to take a break from my coding job, and work on my ecommerce business fully while im in thailand. Ive launched my first product last year but due to lousy potential, I stopped it and currently not selling anything, but I’m working on my 2nd product.

I’m looking to apply the remote working route and am concerned about providing “6 months of salary slip”. Is it okay for me to provide my coding salary slip, although implying im going to be a remote worker for ecomm?

My business is small and not enough to pay myself a salary yet but revenue was about 50k last year..

Hello, I am hoping for some help on my visa application. I am working as a virtual assistant for an individual, not a company. In my original application I provided a work contract with my boss that explained my postion as well as a clause allowing remote work (specifically mentioning the Thai DTV). I get paid through Venmo, and had attached 6 months of payment transactions. I’m confused why they are requesting information that was already provided.

For the second requested doc, I will be attaching full Venmo statements highlighting payments from my boss, as well as a statement from my bank account that they deposit into with those deposits highlighted.

My main question is what am I supposed to provide for the first requested document? Since I already gave a work contract, should I just make a doc further explaining my situation? I don’t have a CV or portfolio because my it doesn’t make sense for my position.

I am applying from HCMC, Vietnam. Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated.

Was issued a my DTV a few days ago and just wanted to update the group as I found a lot of the info on here helpful. So hopefully my experience might help others when applying.

Applied for the visa at the thai embassy in London on 8th of Dec (Sunday morning). Went with workcation visa based on remote work. Submitted the usual docs. Passport, photo, used driving licence for proof of location, bank statement with 500k thb (statement dates from start of Dec to the 6th), and a letter from my employer confirming that they were happy for me to work remotely and they support my application.

On Monday they asked for additional docs. They wanted a better copy of my passport and photo. Plus a copy of my work contract and an e-ticket showing my name and departure dates from the UK. My work provided a temporary flight reservation but never confirmed the booking, which I thought might be an issue and I supplied the rest.

On Thursday afternoon I received my 5 year visa.

DTV Visa Approved in Just 4 Working Days

Taipei - DTV

Hi! I'm applying for a DTV visa workcation (freelancer) next week and I just wanted to check if I got all the documents I need. I've scanned these forums several times but I want to make sure I didn't miss anything.

* Application form with a visa photo

* Passport and passport copy

* Application fee 11,000 TWD

* Visa stamp Taiwan

* Hotel booking Taiwan

* Flight ticket to Taiwan and to Thailand

* Personal cover letter - Saying I'd love to work remotely in Thailand

* Company letter - Confirming that I work for them, I can work remotely from Thailand and they have no business presence in Thailand. Signed by the CTO

* Resume

* Work portfolio (UI/UX design)

* My 3 most recent invoices

* Bank account summary showing 500,000 THB

* Bank statement from past 6 months (incoming invoice payments highlighted)

Potential concerns

1. I'm a freelancer without a company so I don't have a company registration document etc. since I freelance as a private person. Neither am I an employee. I hope that wont be an issue.

2. I've only freelanced for 2 months but I have 1 paying customer who I have invoiced about 5000 Euros. Hope that will be OK as well.

Would love to get some feedback.

Thank you very much.
