well, your last statement is the reason haha. But the reality is that you've already got a foundation set up for approval (your business). I see no reason for you to try and build an entirely new foundation centered around something you wouldn't actually do (Muay Thai). Just speaking from experience, I was very worried and impatient while waiting for my DTV. But it wasn't really all that bad, and finally a bit frictionless. You can't go wrong by providing too much in my opinion.

I just filled in NA for the return flight

definitely not a case of NEEDING to. I really just over-supplied documents so that they wouldn't request anything else.

Ironically, they requested portfolio work for my companies after providing client invoices and contracts.

So depending on the embassy / agent, they may want more evidence than others.

@Lincoln *****

Feel free to ask any questions you might have. It was pretty straight forward.

Sorta. I own multiple companies, but I'm the sole owner.

Even as a freelancer, at least in America, you should still register as a business.

I provided them with my registration, personal bank statements, tax identifications, and company portfolio.

To strengthen my case, I even provided a contract and invoice from a consulting client. This contract was not under a business.

I would actually recommend getting a 1 or 2 GB esim initially, just do you can have internet when you arrive. I use the app called Aralo.

After that, I go to and get a 30 day tourist sim. It comes with a number and is cheap. You can find an unlimited for around 15 USD.

Many of the e-sim apps charge crazy prices, so I wouldn't solely rely on esim apps.

I did mines 7 hours before my flight. Some people did it on the plane. There's literally a kiosk (at least at DMK) to complete it there.

No urgency needed. If you wanted to really risk it, you could probably do it in the immigration line.

To answer your question. If you're set to arrive on let's say the 5th, it won't allow you to fill it out on the 1st. Needs to be 72 hours within the time of your arrival.

You do not. Keep all documents on your phone. All you need to do is complete your TDAC and bring your passport.

It does lack in terms of functionality and feature-set. Sometimes has a delay on calls. However, it gets the job done. I inform everyone that I need to communicate with, that I'll be using W.A (they're fine with it).

For business, I have a separate app for that number that works flawlessly.
