Canadian, applied in Canada

Also include a letter describing your job, and how you can work remotely. One of my requirement was income of $80k a year. Make sure you include proof of that as well.

That is how I got my DTV last year. I am self employed. All I did was provide Bank statement with proof of 500k baht in acount, income tax, proof of company ownership, proof of current residency and flight. Was approved in 3 days.

This is my advise - proof of funds has to be in chequing account. No solvency certificate needed.

Using Upwork might have complicated things, because the employment letter is from that company as your employer, but you are a freelancer. Some people categorize freelancers as self employed.

I would create a company, and re-apply as self employed. Provide proof of owning your freelance business.

Best of luck!

i bet to differ. I am Ghanaian, and I have DTV visa. I know other Ghanaians teaching with work permit.It has nothing to do with nationality. It about requirements. Thailand has been very strict these days to to certain activities of foreigners illegal activities. Your friend needs guidance. Contact the local Thai immigration and inquire about it.

@Alex *******

prenup agreement in nature is transactional. You create a bad environment where she hides money and you hide money for the worse case scenario. In Thailand, you might as well just date forever till you part ways.

If you applied in Canada, I know the money doesn't have to be in your account that long. You just have to prove you have it.

In Cambodia, no idea.

@Brian ********

self explanatory. No money, no return ticket, insufficient funds, previous overstays.. they believed he's here to stay for good. What else do they need to deny him?

@John ******

Yes, a statement showing 500k.

@Phil *******

now everyone knows you are racist
