Dear all, I have a different situation as I never seen this kind of question here. I have Airbnb’s in my home country and I manage that online, would it count as a source of income and prove of online work for the DTV visa? (Of course I have way more than the asked money on my bank account 😁)

Thank you all in advance.

Hi all.

I need some assistance in applying for a DTV visa.

Me and my husband is from S.A and he work in Thailand as a teacher.

I have a Ed visa study Thai but it ends now and I have to get another visa.

He's school don't assist with a letter to follow him on Non O Visa and I know to run borders with a tourist visa will also just be temp and short term so I was looking into a DTV visa.

I applied for Preply but not active yet but like to start to working online with DTV visa

My question is.. If I don't have a proof of income now will Thai Immigrations approve my registration?

I also notice they request a registred buss documents.Will Preply approved assist on application?

I notice the amout of 600 000 THB saving in 6 months bank statements and its not the problem.Only my recent income and registration.

Any advise will be so much appreciated.

Thank you🧘‍♀️

I’ve been reading a lot of posts lately, and it seems like everyone’s talking about contracts.

As a freelancer working with an online company, I keep wondering—how does the idea of a contract apply to someone like me?

I do have proof of my work:

• My profile on the platform

• Screenshots of the website where I work

• Financial transfers and payment history

But there’s no official written contract between me and the company.

Is having a contract a must in freelancing?

Or are there other valid ways to prove work relationships and protect your rights?

Would love to hear thoughts from fellow freelancers or legal experts in the space.

Does anyone know how long you need to be working online, to apply for the DTV? For example, are 3 months of back payment from the company needed when submitting your bank statements?

Would it be possible to get a Muay Thai visa, pay for the course, and then still do some work online while we are in Thailand? Does the visa specifically state it is for work or for play or study, and if we work at the same time would we get in trouble? Or do all the visas look the same? I may want to work to fund my life in Thailand as I study at the same time? Thanks.

Hi there!

Wondering if anyone can help. I have a BA but my boyfriend doesn’t and we want to explore options of moving to Thailand at least for a year ish. Does anyone know where I can find reputable agents for example, to classify him as a ‘classroom assistant’ instead of a teacher - or other job opportunities within other sectors for him? Or able to work on a Muay Thai visa - where to find opportunities for that?

I tried to research online but I’ve only found pretty vague information.

He’s got PT qualifications and a sports therapy degree but not at BA level.

Thanks in advance!

EDIT Questions answered thank you! Most likely he will live off savings. 🙂
