There's no issue applying under Workation as a freelance content creator. Write a cover letter explaining more about your Twitch channel and income you get from there. Include in the letter:

1. Write a short cover letter explaining your income (e.g. $10k/month from Twitch, Patreon, Twitter, etc ), nature of your work and type of content.

2. Explain how you plan to continue your work in Thailand — for example, streaming or creating lifestyle content from here, highlighting Thai food, culture, or just the cost of living/remote work lifestyle. That helps position your relocation under the freelancer narrative.

3. Include links or your socials (Twitch, Twitter, Patreon).

We've seen content creators get approved after explaining their work with the cover letter. The approving officers are not unreasonable, ultimately you have more than enough funds to support yourself in Thailand while living here that is what they are most concerned about. All the best with your application!

Thank you for sharing this! I believe it's a good implementation to reduce the number of shady agents or applicants looking to abuse the system. In our case only the consulates in Vietnam has requested for this confirmation, hopefully this is implemented across the board.

We've had 5 approvals in the past 2 weeks with our students using our cooking school, no rejections recently.

It's not a requirement but it is highly recommend to make it easier for the approving officer to understand your story in a nutshell. Some examples are having multiple bank accounts, having a regular income (which mentioning will strengthen the case), any background history that strengthens your link to Thailand, etc.

Based on our experience assisting applicants, the general guideline is THB 500,000 is required per dependent.

That means in your case you should be able to show a total of THB 2,000,000 . The overall case needs to make sense for the approval officer on how you will support yourself and your family during your time in Thailand.

That said, having some regular kind of income would significantly strengthen your case. Other factors that affect the approval would also be your nationality and the country of application.

Happy to share that we've successful assisted over 120 DTV applicants through our cooking programs (many with dependents)! So we're quite familiar with the process.. feel free to ask any more questions you have.

from our experience assisting applicants, there is no issue with having funds split across multiple accounts. However the recent deposit might be an issue as the funds need to be "seasoned" for at least 3 months for most embassies.

If you're unable to wait, you may consider applying from neighbouring countries to Thailand such as Philippines, Vietnam and Indonesia which are more lenient with the duration that funds are sitting in the account.

We work with Issa compass and they offer money back guarantee on service fee as well as visa application fee.

That said, there may be some nationalities that they don't accept. We haven't found any other partners that offers this yet.

Sharing based on our experience assisting applicants through the process:

Doing it yourself saves on agent fees but depending on the embassy they may have preferences on how documents should be prepared and what are acceptable. That being said, this FB group has plenty of information if you know how to search for it. That said, requirements do change without notice.

Using an agent dealing with high number of applicants would mean they are up to date on the latest requirements.

Some also provide money back guarantee on the full service fee as well as the visa application which would give you a peace of mind.

We work with a few visa agencies and help applicants understand the process, so happy to answer anything else if needed.

For approval duration our most recent applications in Hanoi took between 10–21 days, but this also depends on nationality and overall financial strength of the applicant.

Hi Nicole !
