Hello, I’m going to apply for the DTV but I’m not sure whether I should go for the soft power or remote worker route.

My plan is to attend soft power activities (regardless of DTV) for a few months but I wonder whether it will hold up in the long run since it doesn’t really make that much sense for one to do the activities for 5 years.

Would it be okay if I show my earnings as a remote worker during future entries if I initially apply under soft power? Was wondering since the DTV visa document itself doesn’t really state which category it was issued under, and I earn in my local currency through my company.

If anyone has a good idea on which type (soft power vs remote) would be more suitable in the long run, please enlighten me.

Thanks in advance.

Hi guys, I’m planning to apply for the DTV, but I’m a bit confused about the definition of “remote worker” in this context. My company allows hybrid working, which means I’m expected to show up at the office from time to time, but also allowed to work from home (including from outside the country).

I am able to get a letter from them that indicates that I am allowed to work from another country. Would this qualify as remote worker? Or does it only apply to people who are fully remote?

I applied in the US as a self employed freelancer with an LLC and the embassy just sent me an email requesting this:

‘Upload a self- employment verification letter that include the full name, position, *digital nomad/ remote worker, period of employment and signed by yourself (Issue within 6 months)’

I already mentioned to them I am self employed and uploaded my LLC. So should I just write the letter myself in third person? Seems a bit strange.

Someone else mentioned they did that. Basically wrote a self employment letter and signed it themself.

Anyone else have a similar experience?

I have an LLC with 3 subcontracts, is it better to file the DTV under the remote worker, or, file under freelancer? Thoughts? Thank you.

Is it possible to change the DTV:visa from

"Remote Worker" to Soft Power or Digital Nomad once accepted?

- Starting with "Remote Worker" and then if possible to change to "Soft Power" activity

Or is it all the same after accepted DTV:visa?

- And is there a possibility of getting a work permit to Thailand with the DTV? (Soft power festival work?)

Hi,

The Taipei embassy's website lists the following requirements for a workcation visa:

* *An official employment contract (with an employer residing abroad and no income generated in Thailand),

OR*

* *An official employment certificate (with an employer registered abroad),

OR*

* *A professional portfolio demonstrating status as a digital nomad, remote worker, foreign talent, or freelancer,

OR*

* *An invitation or acceptance letter to participate in the mentioned activities.*

I have a few questions for anyone who has applied through the Taipei embassy:

1. Is providing one of these documents sufficient for approval?

2. If applying with an official employment certificate, what details need to be included? Is a signature and company stamp enough?

3. For freelancers, can I create my portfolio independently? Are there any specific requirements regarding the number of jobs?

4. Were there any additional documents requested during the process?

Thanks in advance for all the help!
