Apply 3 months ahead or less.. don't apply if planned arrival is more than 3 months ahead. You will most likely be told to apply closer to arrival. They might want to see a purchased plane ticket like in my case.

Interesting.. my DTV says "Employment Prohibited" next to the "Remarks:" Applied at London and also used the "workaction" category.

Yep, I had something similar. I printed a page for each category on my website. So in your example that would be a page for photos, page for videos etc. showing thumbnails. Don't forget to compress it as the limit is I think 3MB and if you have a lots of pictures you can easily go over.

they want you to submit it as 1 PDF document.. it can have multiple pages and it can contain more than 1 thing you do. Go to your website where your photograps are and print it to PDF. You can print multiple pages if it looks ok, or one at a time and then combine the single pages you printed into 1 pdf document (there are free online pdf mergers). That's how I submitted mine. At first I just sent them links to my websites as a PDF document but that was rejected. Actual website content printed to pdf was accepted. I have included 2 completely different things I can do remotely, 1. was my 3d artist portfolio and 2. was my youtube channel video page.

wow 6 months tenancy agreement when you are supposed to enter thailand within 3 months from getting the visa... that surely does not make much sense :)

@Bryan ******

That was certainly not the case in my DTV application via London embassy. I submitted my last monthly statement which showed only 30 days history of my account and this was accepted no questions asked. So maybe they have different requirements in differemnt places or it is just a miscommunication.
