Has anyone gotten approved without a summary? I applied for the Workcation visa on Monday, 2/2. I had a summary drafted but didn't upload it before clicking "submit." I mistakenly assumed there would be an upload area for a summary/cover letter, but onlly realized after clicking "submit" that I should have added it as an addition to my PDFs.

My savings well exceed the 500k Baht requirement and I included my work contract as well. However, it's for an online teaching role that I've hardly made any money from, so my bank statements don't show payments from it. I ultimately planned to live off of my savings/investments and the teaching job is just for supplemental income.

Has anyone had success without a cover letter? So far my application is still pending document review and I've received no additional info requests.

hi all. question: i'm an individual freelancer applying for workcation category. i got an email asking for company registration; which i currently don't have. i already gave them my freelance contract with 2 companies already. do you think a cover letter explaining my professional situation would help? thanks in advance.

Where is the section to add cover letter? or the motivation section, did they removed it recently?

I read many of you created a cover letter to support your application, explain certain points etc… where exactly can I upload this cover letter? Thank you!!

Hello everyone...Im applying for DTV from US(Florida). I have all required documents based on Royal Thia site. Besides a cover letter are there any additional documents I should include?

Hello everyone, this is my first time posting on this forum (in fact on any forum ever), so please be kind haha!

I have done some research online but cannot find a definitive answer, so this forum seems like the obvious place for help (it's been a great source of info so far)...

I plan to move to Bangkok March next year. I will apply for the DTV at least 1 month in advance (yes I know the 5 year clock will be ticking) to ensure it's not too close to my flight in case I'm rejected (worse case scenario) or they require further documentation. I will have the financial requirement in my bank at least 3 months in advance so bank statements shouldn't be a problem, I have a British passport and will be applying online at the London Thai Embassy. I have drafted a "cover letter" to include with my application as it seems it wouldn't hurt to add that. I will be applying under 'workation/digital nomad'. I will be working remotely for non-Thai companies/clients, and completing a part-time online degree with The OU at the same time, which will take me 5 years. I will then use that degree to get a B visa & work permit and work in a school as an ESL teacher. That is my plan 🤞

I am restarting my life at 37 after a very difficult few years and I'm scared & excited at the same time, so please be gentle ☺️

My question is:

Do you think it would enhance/help/boost my application if I mention my degree in my cover letter...or could it detriment my application?

I know I don't need an ED visa because I'm not attending a Thai School - The OU is a British institution and my degree is delivered entirely online and can be done anywhere in the world. But would it go in my favour/support me to mention it? Would it show a sensible serious intentional long-term plan rather than just coasting with no real direction, with the intention of working full-time at the end of my DTV for a Thai School? I don't want to mention it if it would hinder me, but I wonder if it would add value to my application? They may not care haha... that's why I'm seeking advice on here! 😊

Open to any & all constructive advice and would really appreciate your help 🙏

Thank you very much 🙏

***EDIT: Despite writing such a long original post 😅 it's seems I missed out some significant context, which may explain why a few people told me I was overthinking 🤣 Rather than reposting, I'll just add it here...

I haven't started teaching online yet. This is a new career change. I have applied to 2 reputable educational platforms and been accepted, and have profiles ready to activate. Due to personal reasons, and also studying a degree, I have not delivered any actual lessons yet. It can take a while to build up regular students (nowadays the general consensus is there is more teachers than student sunfortunately)... So the reason for asking whether to mention my English Degree in my cover letter or not, is because Febuary is only 4 months away and I may not have much proof of portfolio by then. Do any of you know if this will be an issue? I can't go down the soft power route as I wouldn't have time to attend classes, although it seems a little unfair as that route doesn't require any proof of income at all 😅😅

Much appreciated 🙏

Hey!!

Is anyone able to help me with these please?

I have applied from London embassy. I live and work in Spain in the summers. I sent my Spanish bank statements in English with enough money in?

Any help or advice would be much appreciated thank you 🙏

Hey folks

Putting together all the documents needed for my workation DTV. (no more applications through Thai embassy in london anymore by the way? Other than bank statements, cover letter, screenshots of website, proof of address/passport photo/copy of passport....do i need anything else before I go forward with it all? I prefer to have all the documents and send it off in one sitting 😅. Any advise is good advise <3 big love

Hey guys, can anyone give me feedback on my cover letter for the Soft Power application?

Hi everyone,

For those who’ve applied for workcation recently, could I ask a quick question about the supporting documents?

Did you include a cover letter, a portfolio letter, and a financial letter, or is that too much? Are all three necessary, or is there anything else I should include to be safe?

Also, for the 500K financial proof, is it okay to submit both a bank statement and a screenshot showing the balance from my mobile banking app? Just want to make sure that combination is acceptable.

Thanks so much in advance for your help!
