Your Thai experience will not go against you, many DTVERS were students/worked in Thailand. You do not have to mention it if you do not want to as they are primarily concerned with your online work.

@Nicole *****
So you just detail how long you have been working and the work will continue etc in a letter and submit tax return payslips. You can inc porfolio - CV, lesson plan sample, letter/email of appreciation from students.

Ideally the letter should state you can work in Thailand to avoid a request for such a letter and delay approval.

Where are you applying? Many countries outside of the UK will not understand a Zero-hour contract. I would give additional info to highlight you have consistent employment. A letter from your employer detailing permission to work remotely in Thailand will help. I used an ongoing contract with no end date, and it was accepted (Taipei).

I contacted the embassy before via email and they replied that a final balance of 500k was needed with several months of statements. You can also find 100s of posts by applicants that confirm this. You can try contacting them via FB or line.

Sounds depressing. Never been to Canada but It used to have a very positive image, popular to study/ work when I was at Uni. Warmer climate is much better for retirees.

Yes, you have a good chance of being a DTVer. Inc permission from your employer to work remotely in Thailand.
