What documents and processes are needed for a freelancer visa in Taiwan?

Hi Noa Cohen, My case seems similar to yours, I don't have a portfolio but could create one. Wondering if you applied for the visa and if you could share your experience. Thanks

Like Dustin said. No. 1 - good to have, though not absolutely essential. No. 2 - not necessary, but you can provide if you have. However, I wouldn't overdo it. Don't bring things you aren't asked for, unless they can bolster your case.

This means, emphasize 1 rather than 2.

3 & 4, for a lot of us, it's because we have family here. In my case it's also because I do business in and have investments in neighboring countries so Thailand is a convenient base.

5 & 6. Yes. You can write your own cover letter and portfolio. Yes, bring your invoices (2 or 3 should be fine) but have them translated into English or Thai.

7. As per their website.

Financials for 6 months BUT 500K only needs to be on the account the day you apply.

1. 2. no. but if you have such documents, it's better to voluntarily provide to officers as supplementary docs.

3. I just said I love Thailand and wants to stay there to do my full remote work.

4. nope for me. but they will ask you details of your work. DO NOT show any connection between your work and Thailand. your work MUST be 100% IRRELEVANT to Thailand.

6. all the doc should be translated to English.

7. as listed by TTEO's website.

8. stressful to me at least (I'm Taiwanese citizen), but I'm not sure how they deal with foreigners. IMO they best thing is there's not much "undertable" things, "illegal agents" or "applications with fake documents" in Taipei, everything is clear and the standard is fairly consistent compared to other ASEAN consulates.
