Business owner in USA, need to write a letter, this is what I've come up with, obviously redacted. How does this look?

[EMBASSY ADDRESS]

(Submitted via Hanoi Embassy Processing)

Subject: Self-Employment Letter for Destination Thailand Visa (Workcation Category)

Dear Sir/Madam,

I, [NAME], am the sole founder, owner, and operator of [BUSINESS NAME], a well-established enterprise registered in the United States ([BUSINESS ID]). I established the company single-handedly in [FOUNDING YEAR], and over the past two decades, it has evolved into a robust operation based in [LOCATION], delivering top-tier services to a diverse, international clientele, with all revenue sourced exclusively from non-Thai markets.

I am applying for the Destination Thailand Visa to manage my business remotely from Thailand, drawing on my extensive expertise in entrepreneurship and remote leadership.

As the visionary who built [BUSINESS NAME] from scratch, I oversee all critical aspects remotely, including financial management (such as bill payments and credit transactions), staff compensation through secure digital platforms, innovative marketing to expand my global client base, and comprehensive operational coordination.

These duties are performed entirely online using advanced tools like email, cloud-based systems, and virtual communication, ensuring I maintain full control without any need for a physical presence in Thailand or engagement in local work.

On-site daily operations in [LOCATION], such as client scheduling and equipment upkeep, are expertly handled by my brother, [BROTHER'S NAME], who serves as the on-site manager, guaranteeing smooth functionality while I focus on strategic oversight from afar.

My income is derived solely from [BUSINESS NAME], with regular weekly transfers of [WEEKLY AMOUNT] from the business account to my personal account at [BANK NAME], yielding an annual income of approximately [ANNUAL AMOUNT].

Additionally, I maintain a substantial personal savings balance of [SAVINGS AMOUNT] at [BANK NAME], as evidenced by the enclosed bank statements, tax returns, and supporting financial documents.

These resources affirm my financial independence and ability to sustain myself during my stay in Thailand.

I solemnly affirm that my professional activities fully comply with Thai immigration regulations, as all income originates outside Thailand from non-Thai sources, and I will not participate in any local employment, business ventures, or services within Thailand.

I am fully committed to adhering to all visa conditions and am prepared to submit additional documentation, such as my business registration or further financial proof, if required.

Thank you for considering my application. I am enthusiastic about the prospect of enriching Thailand's dynamic workcation community while continuing to expand my business remotely. Please feel free to contact me at [EMAIL] or [PHONE] for any additional information.

Sincerely,

[Your Handwritten Signature if Printed]

[NAME]

Owner, [BUSINESS NAME]

Hi,

I have lodged an application for my DTV, as a dependent on my finance visa, but we are not married. I want to withdrawal my application and apply for my own DTV as a brand new applicant (as I now know this won’t be approved as we are not legally married)

My question is, can I withdrawal my old application and apply again? Or do I need to wait till the application is rejected? I’m mvoing there really soon, and still not got my visa sorted. If anyone has any advice please.

I have a marriage visa and leave Thailand for a visit to my home country. Can I get the re-entry visa at the airport in Bangkok and do I need the marriage cert. Just to clarify as I did not carry it along.

I’m applying for a DTV Workcation visa in Hanoi, where I’m currently located, as a U.S. business owner.

I have all my documents ready: bank statements (USD 17,000 savings, weekly USD 1,000 transfers), tax returns, self-employment letter, and hotel confirmation.

I’m confused about the apostille for my business registration. The embassy says it proves my business’s legitimacy, but it takes 1-2 weeks to get from Utah. Some say Hanoi might accept a non-apostilled certified copy if financial proof is strong.

Has anyone applied for the Workcation DTV as a business owner in Hanoi? Did you need the apostille, or was a certified business registration enough? Any tips? Thanks!

Hello, I'm about to apply under the workation category. I'm wondering if the letter from the company stating that I'm allowed to work remotely from Thailand must be signed digitally or printed, signed by hand, and then scanned. Does anyone have any references for this? Thank you.

Hi All. I have never had an issue in getting approved my 90 day report, submitted online. But this time, it has been rejected 3 times. I did leave Thailand a month ago, for a two week trip to UAE and Germany. I had landlord resubmit my tm30 since my return, but still rejected. Not sure what I am now doing wrong. Is my entry to Thailand on the TM47, my original arrival date, or is it now the date i returned from my trip abroad? Thoughts, suggestions? Thanks in advance, much appreciated.

I would like to change to the 65,000 baht a month method for my retirement visa. I usually change currency from aud to thb and then get it sent to my Thai bank account. Will that work?

I've been out the loop of visas for a few years.

1. Is this still the case with visa-exemption stamps?

- By land, 2 per calendar year

- 20,000฿ in cash

- Need return ticket

2. Can the return ticket be to Cambodia, Vietnam, etc. (rather than home country)?
