Dwight Berg there is a lot of misinformation. People just don’t look in the right places.

Here is a place that has a guide cover letters checklists etc

Dtvquickdotcom

I used the guide and the cover letters as a business owner and got approval in 4 days

Did you state in your cover letter that you would not work in Thailand or got Thai companies?

Tourism is very precious here so even a hint of you working in it may have led to your rejection.

You can combine multiple passport pages on one page

This should help reduce the number of overall pages to get the size down.

200dpi resolution should also be enough to keep them legible.

always on the tourist visa? It may not work this time but given your history you might be lucky

Cash needs to be in a personal bank account ideally seasoned for 3 months. Some embassies don’t enforce it but it’s best practice

@Sean **************

just remember you MUST apply for the DTV from outside of Thailand. Shouldn’t be a problem if you apply in your 4 weeks on. Chances are to get the approval in that time too

Make sure your application is super organised.

Also check the new tourist visa enforcement. How many times have you been here this year?

Last thing you want is to be refused entry and then apply for DTV. not a good idea

An agent won’t be able to do anything different either. There are only those options.

If you are not currently a freelancer don’t go down that route as you are not one given that you are physically required on site

@Sean **************

yes I am. Your best bet would then be soft power route. Cooking or Muay Thai

What’s your roster? 12 days on 12 days off?

You can do it yourself.

I used the DTV guide I found here dtvquickdotcom

Made it super easy with cover letter templates checklists remote work letter doc assembly guide etc.

got mine in 4 days in Sydney

Check this guide out
