Hello , ı send renew 4. Time now he send me this. I am computer engineer and working freelance. How can send employment contract? One of the companies I worked for wrote me a contract, but I received this warning, what should I do?

Good morning, I write books and I receive monthly royalties from a literary agent. I don't have a company. In your opinion, can I apply for the DTV as a freelance digital nomad?

Thank you

Hello ~ Has anyone had success as a freelance tutor from Preply with the DTV visa?

I'm just a bit confused as to what to provide in regards to Employee Contract, as I am technically considered a freelancer.

Thank you~

Update:

I previously posted about being rejected by Los Angeles after 17 days pending document check because the system had deleted my middle name before submission.

I re-applied and, after about one week, received the following document requests:

"Other request documents: Business portfolio

Other request documents: Please upload a business registration of the company

Other request documents: Your recent tax return

Other request documents: Guarantee letter from the company implies that you work remotely

Other request documents: Employment contract or employment certificate from company"

—"Business portfolio":

It would sure be helpful if they explained what they mean by that. In my original application, I included links to two of my freelance portfolios where they can see dozens of pieces of work from the last couple of years. Should I print out hundreds of pages of work as the portfolio? My main current job is a large project that is not yet finished for them to see.

—"Business Registration":

Again, it would be helpful if they were a bit more explicit. The main foundation I work for has a prominent website. I Googled their "business registration" and all their information since 2001 is available on Propublica.com. I guess I will print that out and submit that?

—"Recent tax return":

That is clear enough. I didn't file this yet this year, but I will do that today.

—"Guarantee letter from the company implies that you work remotely":

This is funny because I am a literary translator and writer, so of course my work is remote, but my contract doesn't explicitly say that because it's obvious. I will request that from my main employer spelling it out.

—"Employment contract or employment certificate from company":

This is the most troubling because I already submitted a very thorough copy of my contract to them. So I am very confused as to why they are asking for it again.

Overall, it doesn't look very promising. At least they didn't ask me for more financial documentation. I will submit these docs and hope for the best, but I'm pretty discouraged by this opaque system with no recourse. If it fails again, I'll try to go through an agent, which is probably much more reliable.

This is maybe a stretch, but I wonder if this is an option. Maybe the group can advise?

I’m a professional musician, performing several international tours per year (never in Thailand). This is my sole income, and my tax is paid in the UK (British citizen).

The time between tours is creative time.

This is time that I would like to spend in Thailand, and thus travel to work occasionally for a tour.

Could I be regarded as a ‘remote worker’, given that the time in Thailand is spent creatively, though the resulting income is made overseas?

Basically, I was wondering, if these professional criteria fulfill the requirements in obtaining a DTV in that regard.

It doesn’t seem entirely obvious to me.

Apologies for making an anonymous post btw.

I know it’s annoying to some, but hey-ho

Thanks 🙏🏻

UPDATE: Today, 18 Feb 5.12PM My visa got approved!! Goodluck everyone! As promised I’ll make a detailed video on all the docs I submitted which would help self employed freelancers like me!

Abit worried about my DTV status for softpower, muay thai, applied in HCMC.

Feb 10 5.30pm - submitted

Feb 13 12pm - additional documents requested ( 6 months statement and proof of income) I’m a freelance graphics designer and am worried they think im sus for applying via softpower, but i did provide proof of income with invoices attached and my portfolio, indicating i want to learn muay thai during my free time whilst working my job.

Feb 13 11pm - submitted additional documents requested

Feb 18 today - still pending document check…

Is this normal for it to take so long? Losing hope… been seeing people get moved to pending approval within like 3 working days…

How can i work as a Freelance sports trainer in thailand?

Do i need to register a company?

Hello guys,

I apply in Hanoi and now they asked me for a document but I'm not sure what this document looks like.

My purpose is freelance, so I provided framework agreements with two agencies I work for.

Now the asked me for a "Business registration of company you're currently working with." Does it mean I have to ask my agencies to give me some document that prove they registered their businesses?

Thanks!
