I am applying for a DTV under the soft power (Muay Thai) category in Europe. I plan to put the info that I am employed and include my salary range and the company name in the application, as I’ve been advised that income can strengthen the application.

Did anyone receive a request to submit an employment contract and a company letter confirming that you are allowed to work remotely when applying under the soft power category? I would prefer to keep my employer out of the process.

Also, when asked how you will support yourself in Thailand, is it better to state your current foreign job or savings?

I will be applying for my DTV in June under my LLC. (content creator and Trading) I have a website. I know i will need to show my business formation papers and a letter stating that I can work remotely etc. My best friend will be moving to Thailand as well. She will be applying for a DTV under my company. Do I need to establish a employment contract for her, as well as the letter stating that she will be working remotely under the company? Any helpful tips and suggestions is greatly appreciated

Hi everyone, I’d really appreciate some advice from those who’ve been through the DTV process 🙏

I’ve been asked by the Thai Embassy (Jakarta) to provide the following:

>

*Employment contract or employment certificate or professional portfolio showcasing digital nomad / remote worker / freelancer status, plus proof of monthly income***.

Here’s my situation:

* I recently started a new remote/freelance collaboration in January

* I do have an agreement / contract in English

* I have already issued my first invoices, which I can upload

* However, I have not yet received the payments, as the first payment cycle is still pending (normal timing)

So at the moment I can only show:

* Contract / agreement (already sent)

* Issued invoices (already sent)

---> But not yet incoming payments on my bank account

Has anyone been approved in a similar situation by:

* uploading contract + issued invoices (without received income yet)?

* or adding an explanation letter for the first payment timing?

Any real experiences with Jakarta (or other embassies) would be extremely helpful.

Thanks a lot in advance 🙏

Title: DTV Work Proof Question – Employer Letter vs Contract

Hi everyone, quick question about the DTV work documentation:

I submitted an employment verification letter from my employer stating I’m a regular employee (I’ve been with the company since 2019). The letter includes my job details and is signed by a company officer. I can also provide recent paystubs, and I’m listed on the company website.

Is an employer letter + paystubs usually enough for DTV approval, or do they require an actual signed employment contract?

Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some advice and experiences 🙏

My visa application was rejected in December due to insufficient bank statements (I could only provide 1 month at that time). I’m planning to reapply in February and will have 3 months of bank transactions by then.

I’m currently living in Thailand, working remotely for a Singapore-based company, and I’m 6 months pregnant, so my time and travel options are quite limited.

Has anyone applied from Laos in a similar situation (remote work, reapplication after rejection)? Is it okay to reapply with the same employment contract, and are there any extra documents you’d recommend?

I’m feeling a bit anxious after the rejection, so any advice or shared experience would really mean a lot. Thank you so much 💙

For business owners who applied for DTV:

Is it true that the employment contract + the company's registration have to be "authenticated by the embassy of the country where the company is located"?

I found this info in some official PDF checklist, but consulates/embassies never mention it. Wanted to know before I start the application.
