DTV Visa : Photographer / Videographer

Hi all, can someone please explain how come freelancer (photographer / videographer) do not qualify for DTV if their clients are based abroad, and not working for any local based (Thai) clients.

Does "artist" qualify for DTV in that case? I can show a portfolio of images for exhibition in galleries.

Thanks for your help.

I'm currently working full-time and have a work permit and visa but I am considering going full-time online with the DTV visa, is this possible? What would I need to do? Can I prove my work by using a, screenshot of my students, and a spreadsheet of my income etc?

Hi, I'm from the US, currently on a 30-day extension until April 5 (21 days remaining). I want to get a non-O retirement visa. I don't have a thai bank account. I can document the income from rental, pension, dividends, etc. I think I'll need help pulling this together as I just realized I have to get it done by tomorrow to allow 20 days for processing. Any tips on how to document income or get it done right the first time, since it may be my only shot?

Requirements for Monthly Income Documentation

I made another visit to my local immigration office in Khon Kaen yesterday to further clarify what is expected for monthly deposits to Thailand for my visa extension. I am American, so I no longer can obtain an income affidavit. I took to them a paper given to me by BKK Bank, which listed ALL activity on the account for 12 months. The IO seemed to be satisfied with this. I also gave her the form statement from US Social Security, which showed how much I was paid in 2019 and how much I will receive in 2020. The amounts are more than enough to satisfy what’s needed for a marriage visa.

IN ADDITION, she said they would like to see statements from my US bank indicating pension deposits & subsequent transfers to Thailand. This is no problem for me to produce, but the request was somewhat of a surprise, since I had not heard this before. I will be going again in mid-March to do my 90 day report & double check again. Sorry for the long post, but that’s the short version.

FYI

Seems to be some updates on the London Thai Embassy website for certain categories of Non O and Non B visas. Gone is the ability to show bank statements of banked money and it now refers to 'income'

The multiple entry Non B visa is now only issued to certain categories of profession and issued for 3 years at £300 (If I am reading it correctly)

Maybe this is why they have held off with the online application if there are some changes taking place?
