Was just wondering could I apply for a DTV if I want to start teaching English online to students outside of Thailand? Am about to begin a TEFL course soon and was also wondering how I could show proof of employment if that’s needed? Will be applying through London Embassy

Hi All hope this helps,

So I applied on the 3rd Feb but uploaded all the documents prior arriving accept for the proof of current location where I submitted Airbnb reservation and photo of my passport stamp from the day of entry along with the rest of the uploaded documents. I applied for Soft Power DTV in Vietnam HCM. The soft power was cooking academy course in bangkok.

I have been asked. For additional 6 months bank statements after I only given 4 months and proof of employment while I ticked not employed and no salary. This took 4 days.

When I re-uploaded additional docs I have been asked 4 days later for more info about my cooking course. I provided initially document from the academy saying I paid, and the length letter saying its 6 months course with 20 lessons spread over the 6 months, company details and some Thai document from the academy. I have added photos from their website and the cooking timetable of all the cooking lessons for the the whole year which I asked from the academy and they were very responsive. This took also 4 days from my previous re-submition as mention.

Then on Valentines day 2 days later I received approval.

I was stressed but i stayed put, I have been just hanging around very good cheap airbnbs in Saigon and having tinder dates which kept me occupied 😀.

Good luck and ask for more details if anything.

I'm planning to apply under the digtial nomad / freelancer category and was going to submit the following documents. I'm a programmer.

Are there any other documents I should include?

I will be going to Cambodia to re-enter Thailand, so it going to be a Thai Embassy in Phnom Penh.

Im also collecting my Documents.

.

✅ Proof of cash, I have a bank statement showing 300k AUD under my personal name. [not business name]

.

✅ Proof of employment - Im writing a letter to prove that I work for myself.

.

✅ Proof of Current location- Im actually unsure of this. it could be my hotel in Cambodia once booked.

.

✅ Passport and Photo. those are easy to get on that day.

.

Question

1- does anyone has any experience with the phnom penh embassy?

2- is my letter good enough?

3- should I go to Cambodia and apply thru embassy or do online , or will there any difference?

Hopefully someone can help me with this. I have had a request of documents for my DTV.

1) a bank statement with the 500k baht ( which i sent in my original documents)

But will send again

2) business license ( which I also sent my 2024 and 2025 in my original documents) but will send again

Not sure why I have to send them when I sent them already but whatever

3) upload proof or remote work

- this is the one I need the help with, I already sent a cover letter explaining what I do ( I’m a residential Cleaning company owner) I have employees and I have a manager that runs my business, anything I do for my business I do remotely such as social media marketing, payroll, speaking with clients ( when needed and my manager can’t) scheduling etc. I put this all in my cover letter to them along with links to all my social media pages etc , what can I send them as proof of remote work with my name on it like they are requesting

Please help

Hope everyone is having an amazing day/night! I have a question about the DTV. I want to apply via workcation. The thing is I’m self employed via my LLC. How do I offer proof of employment? I have the dollar amount in my bank account and I’m ready for the move lol any help is appreciated!

Hi, I applied in Hanoi through e visa this morning and they requested additional documents this evening. But I don’t understand what they’re asking for or how to ask them for clarification. Anybody have any ideas? Thank you in advance.

Hey guys, just trying to prepare for my DTV application in Jakarta, is this the correct form? I dont see DTV listed as an option.

I'm also wondering what you had to show as proof of employment, do I need to show payslips or is a contract of employment enough? According to the official website-

4.1 for a DTV Workcation (Digital nomad/remote worker/foreign talent/freelancer) : Employment contract or employment certificate in their country or professional portfolio showcasing digital nomad, remote worker, foreign talent or freelancer status

** Copies of agency/school/institution/company documents must be signed by an authorized person and stamped with the agency/school/institution/company seal

To me it seems like you only need a contract, but seems too easy 😅

Many thanks!

Looking for any who have gotten visa as freelancer, and what is the burden of proof

My employer is a huge company, I am allowed to work remotely, but they can't provide paperwork other than proof of employment (with no mention of remote work). Will that pass in Laos?
