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!

Looking for advice on DTV visa application

I’m currently preparing to apply for the visa and could use some help. I’ve searched through past posts and found some useful info, but I’d like to hear your suggestions.

I worked as an online English teacher for the past 2 years and finished my contract at the end of February. I have payment slips and will receive the final one next week. I started a new job mid-January as a private contractor and have payslips for the past two months, plus a contract and a letter from the company.

Since I’m now a contractor, I assume I need to apply as a freelancer. Do I need to provide a portfolio (I don’t have one for this role), or is a resume enough? Also, can I submit payslips from my previous job even though I’m no longer employed there? I also have proof of the required 500k baht in my account.

Any advice or experience would be appreciated!

With regards to the DTV do you think showing proof of income from a property portfolio be classed as freelance/remote worker and ne accepted? TIA.

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~
