I have been working as a freelancer for twelve years and do not have a work contract with any of my clients. Does this present a problem when applying to get a DTV visa considering their work contract requirements? As a translator of content that is used along with colleagues' written content, the type of work I do also does not lend itself to providing portfolio examples.

My AI bot offered the following alternatives, but I would like human feedback before I go ahead and "throw away $300". Thanks.

## DTV AFTER STUDENT VISA WHILE BEING A FREELANCE

Hello everyone!

I'm a Freelance and I've been living in Thailand since February 2022 with tourist + student visa (so definitely a LOT of stamps on my passport haha)

My last student visa ended on the 14th of December 2024. I'm back in France and plan on applying for a DTV visa to come back to BKK on the 23rd of January

My question: as I was previously on a student visa and not supposed to work in Thailand, how do I explain being a freelance and showing them my company registration/invoices for the last couple of months when applying for the DTV visa? 🫠🫠

Not sure if it's a legitimate question or if my overthinking brain is doing its magic again so I figured I'd ask!

Can freelance English tutors working on platforms like Preply still qualify for the DTV visa?

Hello, a big thanks to all the members of that group for the help provided !

So in my case, i am a freelance remote worker and as a freelancer, i don't have any contract from my employers to show (and i'm just working for one or two clients max for now) and i don't necessarily work for them every month (last year i worked for them 7 months in a roll then 5 months pause).

This year, well, i don't know, i will see how it goes, there is no certainty, it can stop from a day to another or i can also be working all year...

And i don't send an invoice each month, rather a note of copyrights (as a writer/adaptador) to the client who pays me 45 days after but each note is dated monthly, like a bill or a paycheck....

I have the amount (500K) they ask for on a bank account.

All that being said and thank you to those who read me until the end, do you think i can be eligible for the DTV, and if yes, how should i do it ?

Thank you !!!

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.

I'm a freelance designer doing remote work pro bono for a charity based in Indonesia, which I visit a few times a year. I am living off savings so have money in the bank. The charity is willing to write me a letter describing our relationship. But since they are not paying me, will this be an obstacle to me getting a visa? I have a portfolio of work related to my role with them. I will be applying at the London Embassy.

Has anyone been able to obtain their DTV as a digital nomad/freelance solely using their NON MONETIZED YouTube channel as a portfolio? If you have, I would love to hear about how you did it. Thanks in advance.

I am an individual tax resident (not a company) and I sell software online (I don't have any contracts with clients). Can you please recommend to me what documents I should submit. My situation: I make a piece of software similar to a wordpress plugin, and I sell it from my website. All of my customers make a $25 payment that is processed through Paypal. I do over 1000 sales a year, and I transfer the money from Paypal to my New Zealand bank account. I pay tax in New Zealand as an individual , not as a registered company.

I can submit these documents:

*My website info

*My Paypal summary of sales

*My tax return

*My bank account showing the income from Paypal

Is there anything else I should submit?
