Hey everyone. I’m a freelancer looking to apply for a DTV visa for my wife and I from Taiwan. I have several ongoing clients, but have only recently become a digital nomad. Is it a necessity to have an LLC, or is being a sole proprietor sufficient? And how many months do I need to show for income? Please advice. Thanks.

I'm a German national without permanent residency and want to apply for a DTV through their website.

The only thing that I worry about is the last part "Employment contract or employment certificate in their country or professional portfolio showcasing digital nomad, remote worker, foreign talent or freelancer status."

I have a US LLC through which I sell online coaching and writing services.

What would be best to supply there? I have:

* proof that the US LLC is registered in my name

* past invoices from clients

* I could write a certificate in the name of the company to prove I can work remotely

* a website that's currently offline but would be easy to set to live

Anything else I could/should include?

Thanks!

SHARE: Jakarta, Indonesia Embassy

Family of three from New Zealand. (Me as lead, husband as spouse and daughter 12 as dependJonny Greenert)

18th November 2024.

Applied this morning.

Hubby Jonny got short straw and went to wait at Embassy early am. He was there by 6.15am and was 10th in the queue. Probably about 100 people behind us by the time the doors opened.

In and out by 10am. The Embassy Team were super helpful all around from security to the team accepting your documents and payment. - gave back any docs not needed, took payment and gave slip to come back on Thursday to collect passports after lunch.

Applied under Remote Worker / Digital Nomad

We have two companies in NZ - one tourism, one business coaching. We choose to apply under the business coaching business cause client contracts, income and portfolio was easiest to create.

Provided the following:

For me as “DTV” remote worker

Bank account with NZ $66k at ending balance (about 1.3m baht) gave six months balance fluctuates from $2k through to the $66k throughout that period.

Investments of approx $80k at ending balance (approx 1.6m baht) kinda liquid - added just in case.

Company registration in NZ plus NZBN registration, plus companies office extract which shows the two of us as sole shareholders of business with our trust - which on the extract shows our names and my Mum’s as our third trustee. My husband and I are the two directors of the company.

Stripe report showing subscription payments of approximately NZ$300k over 12 months - didn’t bother giving Xero invoices and payments to bank as it felt excessive. I also printed out all existing client contracts but they didn’t want those. For all financials we put into xe.com to exchange and screenshot and added to application.

Letter from my husband and I saying I can work remotely.

Employment Contract showing I can work remotely and remuneration is dependent on profit of company.

Screenshot on PDf of my website, social channels and podcast.

Rental agreement for house in Thailand

Airbnb printout for Jakarta

Flight details for Friday this week.

For Jonny

Marriage certificate.

Sponsorship letter saying I am responsible for him financially and he will follow all the rules in Thailand. While educating our daughter in the rich Thai culture.

Copies of bank statements / financials.

Copy of my passport and his.

For daughter

Birth certificate

Sponsorship letter saying same as above and that Jonny would homeschool.

Copie of bank statements / financials.

Copy of my passport and hers

Three yellow envelopes of cash each with $5.6m rupiah.

Stuff to think about:

ATMs in Jakarta seem to have upper limit of $2.5m per withdrawal. So you’ll need to do three even if there is just one of you. We had to do 7 withdrawals.

Accommodation and flights to and from Jakarta from NZ to Thailand afterwards were all still cheaper than applying in NZ.

Now we wait - will update on Thursday when we pick up passports - or earlier if they ask/need further information from me.

Been in and out of Thailand since June 2024 - both Jonny and I have left for work and our all extensions done for our daughter.

Any questions hit us up below. Aside from the early start very smooth easy process. Huge thanks to this community for all the tips.

I see that most people on here have been applying for the DTV from Asian countries. I'd really like to hear about the experience of some Americans. I did see something about consulates here asking for tax returns? Can anyone tell me what they had to do to get approved while applying here? Specifics would be appreciated! Thanks

Considering applying to DTV and wondering if folks feel like I should do it sooner rather than later; basically wondering if you feel the DTV rules will change to be more restrictive?

DTV - London evisa approved - workcation

Relatively easy with the right docs.

Provided:

Letter from employer addressed to the Thai Embassy in London saying I have permission to work in Thailand.

Scan of Drivers license (the card)for proof of address.

Bank statement showing about £13,000 - I asked my bank to send me a statement for just a few days so it did not contain any transactions.

Proof of visa payment

Extra document was requested about 24 hours after the initial application- contract of employment.

After submitting the requested document, the visa was approved on a Sunday 48 hours later.

Only slightly worrying part of the process was that when I first went to pay for the visa, the system sent me some weird error message and I couldn’t pay. To solve the issue , I just completed the forms again and on the 2nd attempt, the payment portal worked.

Real question: What's the point applying for DTV if we (may) have to show proof of ongoing soft power every time we ask for extension?

DTV application 10k

6 month Muay Thai registration is 20 k

So far 40k a year plus 10k once.

Did i miss anything?
