Anonymous participant in that case going for soft power make much more sense. However you still need a banking statement in english anyway and when apply you can write a cover letter explaining that you will have income from private lending activity to support your lifestyle in thailand. You doesnt have to include those 12 pages long just highlight the income from bank statement and probably attach a tax return on those income
just write a cover letter explain your situation to the embassy
1. you get all your money from your partner
2. you and your partner have baby together but not married yet.
3. your partner work visa and the amount he make.
4. your plan for continuing support yourself in thailand for example - your partner will transfer 60,000 THB per months for you to use on daily activity
Attach a lease agreement in your partner name, a birth certificate for you baby that has the name of your partner and yourself
combined all of the doc together in 1 pdf file
1. this is the step we would recommend you do
you can do it by yourself using chatgpt to draft the letter
or let us do it for you for 5000 fee(all fees is refundable if your visa is rejected)
Since you are applying under the freelancer category—which is one of the most difficult categories to get approved—you should include strong supporting documents. Many applicants have previously submitted unverified or misleading documents, so Thai embassies now require third-party evidence that can be independently verified.
You may submit alternative supporting documents such as:
• Recent tax returns showing your income source
• Professional qualifications or certifications
• Your LinkedIn profile or personal website
• Any official contracts, client invoices, or recommendation letters
These documents will help convince the embassy that you are a legitimate freelancer with a stable and verifiable income.
If you’re lucky, the embassy might issue the DTV visa without requesting any additional documents.
If you’re unlucky, they may ask you to translate all of your company documents into English using a certified (notarized) translator. You may also be required to provide detailed information about your company—what it does, how much revenue it generates, and possibly submit tax returns from recent years. To make things more complicated, all of these documents must be translated and notarized, as the embassy often requires notarization.
You can try applying with your startup company, and if it fails, the most you would lose is the 10,000 THB application fee.
However, we recently encountered an issue at the Netherlands embassy. One of our customers applied for the DTV visa under the Workcation category and was rejected. When they reapplied under the Soft Power category, they were rejected again. We refunded 100% of the course fee. The customer later checked with the embassy and was informed that once you apply under one category (Workcation or Soft Power), you cannot switch to another category if the first attempt is unsuccessful.
As the saying goes: “Trying to avoid a small loss may end up costing you even more.”
