hi does the London embassy require a minimum amount for proof of income each month? I’m planning to switch to remote work (currently full time employed in a job that wouldn’t allow this) and become a freelancer/online tutor in the near future once I have saved up the 500,000 THB from my current job but worried that my monthly income will be too low to begin with until I build up a clientele and I won’t have a convincing application. I was considering doing tutoring on the weekends but again this would only bring in a small amount of income per month until I can make it more of a full time thing.

DTV

For freelancers: Business registration and Introducing Normad if you are a new freelancer.

What does the consulate in Frankfurt want?

I have a business registration but new open.

Introducing Normad if you are a new freelancer.

What does that mean?

The consulate does not answer the phone !!!

Thank you for help

Got the VISA from Bangladesh as a Freelancer

* Application Date: 11th February

* Visa Received on: 7th April

Documents Submitted:

* Freelancer.com Profile Screenshot

* Transaction History from Freelancer.com

* Proof of Income and Agreement with my full-time client from Canada

* Proof of Income from my client in Australia

* Payoneer Statement (Payment gateway)

* Remittance Certificate from my bank (showing remittance received over the last year)

During the interview, they asked a lot of questions about my clients, but they were very helpful.

Mistakes Made:

* I mistakenly used a ChatGPT-generated template for my agreement with my Australian client, leaving a placeholder [Enter your client's company address here:] which I forgot to change. They pointed it out during the interview and allowed me to correct it with a laugh.

* I mistakenly submitted 5 months and 27 days of statements instead of the required 6 months. They mentioned they would reopen the statement field for me to re-upload the correct document.

Approved in Ankara from the second attempt.

Attempt no. 1

Applied on February 11 and waited until March 22 just to get "Wrong place of passport issuance".

So, I lost $400 for indicating an authority and not my home country. They require your country name and not an authority.

Attempt no. 2

Applied on March 27, approved on April 5.

Work:

I'm a freelancer, so I created a long PDF with my portfolio, Terms of Service of one of the platforms, a letter from one of my customers allowing me to work remotely.

Residence:

I uploaded my Turkish residence permit, my rental agreement, and Turktelekom bill to confirm my address in Turkey.

Finances:

I uploaded a fresh bank statement (no stamps, just downloaded it from the app) for theast 3 months.

No additional requests.

Pending approval on April 4.

Approved on April 5.

I wanted to make their work easy, so I prepared 3 PDFs with tables of content and I decided not to add excessive documents.

Hey guys I am currently applying for a DTV visa. For the proof of free lancer status document

Will an engagement letter between the companies I offer my services to and also invoices up 4 months will be enough to prove free lancer status ?

Hello. I need help. I tried to apply for my DTV visa as a freelancer in Cambodia. And after 15 days, I received an email saying: "Your visa application has been cancelled. wrong country of passport."

Can I call to understand? Or is there nothing to do and I have to reapply in another country?

Thank you for your answers 🙏

Soo. I am a freelancer, but I don’t get “payslips” or invoices for my local clients(I’m from India). I just met the clients I have locally in person and they told me what they would want every month, and I provide them what they want every month for which they transfer me the payment every single month. I’ve got the same fixed payment from these clients every single month for the last 2 years, but I don’t receive any payslips or invoices for the same.

I have more than 2 million THB in my savings account(way more than the 500k required for DTV) and I also have freelance clients through fiverr and have an Etsy shop. But the fiverr and etsy shop aren’t something that give me a fixed monthly income. it’s on and off and some months I get a lot of clients and some months are flat af. Do you think I can apply for a DTV based on my local(2 clients) that I have even though I can prove the payment through showing the payment in my bank account and can present my tax statements, but don’t have payslips or invoices for the same?

Any advice Friends .?? It is rejected or not Eligible ??

Hello everyone!

I'm seeking advice on applying for a DTV visa. I've been in Thailand for over a year, and I've done 4 visa runs and 3 extensions with local immigration. I'm a freelancer with a registered VAT number and I meet all the requirements for the DTV, but I'm concerned about the potential impact of my previous visa runs on my application.

Should I use an agent to apply for the visa, or is it safe to apply on my own? I've prepared all the necessary documents thanks to the advice shared in this group.

Any thoughts or experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
