Hello to those who applied in the UK, any red flags in my application? I am unsure whether I need to prove my relationship to the address stated on my documents (utility), as I don't currently live at that address

Role: works freelance for a single client. Client is in Germany.

Situation: UK native, hasn't lived in the UK for 1+ year. No clear residency for that period of time (mainly travelling on tourist visas) Currently renting short-term in the UK. No rental contract but can have it made up.

Enclosed items

* Passport

* Passport style photos

Supporting documents

* Financial evidence of ฿500,000

* Proof of income since January 1 2025 (Wise bank statement)

* Contract of freelance work (supplied by client, digital signature)

* Letter from client confirming remote status (supplied by client, digital signature)

* 6 months client invoices

* Shareholder certificate

* LinkedIn profile

Needed?

* Proof of current location: Immigration stamp in?

* Proof of address (rental agreement)?

Bonus question: can anyone say for sure that I can enter Thailand on a DTV approved more than 90 days prior to entry? Is there a time limit to entering?

TIA!

hi, i'm a freelance web designer. My main client is an Australian development house. I do a lot of design work for one of their customers an online crypto casino. Do you think the Thai government would have an issue in giving me a DTV visa if i'm creating designs for an online casino but not working for them.

Hi everyone 👋

I’m looking into applying for the DTV (from UK) under the Workcation/freelancer route and was wondering if anyone here has been approved with a similar situation to mine.

Here’s a bit about me:

* Previously worked from home in automotive engineering industry making a decent salary.

* I’ve left that role in September to start my own online business (currently pre-revenue).

* I could pick up contracting work in engineering again if needed.

* I do some occasional freelance work (web/marketing) for UK clients - not full-time, maybe £500-£1000pm.

* I have plenty of savings and no intention of working with or for Thai companies.

Essentially, I’m self-funded, with a past track record of income, some light freelance work now, and the ability to earn more if needed.

Has anyone been approved with a similar profile - e.g. early-stage entrepreneurs or part-time freelancers without a fixed monthly income?

Any tips or experiences would be appreciated 🙏

Thanks a bunch in advance!

Can anyone who’s done the freelance workcation DTV process themselves help/ direct message me?

1. For the ฿500,000 That is required to show on your bank statement does it have to be on your bank statements for multiple months or can you just read on one month?

1. Since Im currently in Thailand is it easier to go to Vietnam to apply and if so, Do I need to go to the embassy in Vietnam for any part of the DTV application process? which hotels did you all stay?

1. For DTV freelancers what important information with our portfolio or proof of work is essential to show in the application?

Hi all, just a quick question. I am planning to apply for the dtv when I have handed my notice in for my current employer. I intend to work freelance on the weekends over the next 6 months to build a stronger application( I know this is not ideal as income will be quite low each month from this but better than nothing.) Would it be a red flag when providing my most recent bank statement as my last pay from the company will likely be on it. Is it likely they will query this? Applying through London embassy for reference

Hello. So is this what they need? Or more?

It is certificate from the platform that I am working with them

And I can ask for more details

But, is this enough? Or it should be stamped or what is their requirements?

Or what should I do to make it better

( I am an online freelance teacher) so this is not a contract

Thank you for your help

Hey folks, I would like to get a second opinion on whether or not I'll be submitting enough documents for a DTV visa as a freelancer. My main concern is that I have only just recently become a freelancer and only have a few contracts at this moment, all of which are somewhat small, and many are from the same company. I do not have my own business anywhere. Here is what I am planning to submit for my application in Hanoi:

* Cover letter outlining intentions and my work situation along with a list of docs

* Passport and recent photo

* Six months of back statements demonstrating savings over THB 500,000 throughout

* I live in Vietnam right now and so evidence of current residency: existing visa, most recent entry stamp, current lease agreement

* Letter from my friend in Chiang Mai who I will list as my address in Thailand before I am able to find something longer term once there

* Proof of freelance work: a copy of my Linkedin profile, a copy of my website advertising my services, recent consultancy agreements, an NDA from another client. I also have access to one of my clients' business registration documents in the UK.

Is this enough? Should I plan to submit anything else, say for example a tax return from when I was employed full time? TIA for any guidance.

I've been in Thailand for 11 months on both the tourist stamp and education Visa. I'll be returning to the USA next month for about 2 months, then back to Thailand. I'll be coming in on a 30 day stamp but will be going for another education Visa, this time for Muay Thai (previously it was for language). I planned to stay in Thailand until December, then return to the USA and apply for the DTV.

I started working as a freelance English tutor on Preply about a month ago. This makes me a contractor I believe. I planned to continue this for the next 9 months, and hoped to use this as my activity when I apply for the DTV in December. I currently have no Thai students and will turn away any that try to book.

Is this a viable route for the DTV? I was thinking to clearly state on my Preply profile that I cannot teach Thai students, and make sure to highlight this in my application.

Thanks for any tips or advice!

I have a DTV obtained by softpower route but I also have a freelance activity and proof of income (but it's very new so didn't have the 6 months history to apply for Workation). The question is : at the border does the officer have an idea of what kind of DTV you have ? If they ask can I just answer workation ? I ask because it seems like people answering softpower get checked a bit more...

I'm a business owner (Photography).

Can someone give me an idea of how I should be creating a Employment contract or employment certificate?

If anyone could post theirs that got approved that would be a huge help!
