A question about DTV for a business owner.

Let's say that you are the sole owner of a private company in UK.

So you own all the money from this company but you send every month the money on your personal bank account that only have the money from the month expenses.

In these cases, what you can do?

They say that the money should be in your personal bank account for 3 months in some embassies, did somebody manage to have accepted the money in the company bank account or that the money was sended in the personal bank account before the request of DTV?

I'd like to try to ask in Jakarta or in Phnom Penh soon about the DTV for freelancers, wondering if somebody had the same issue and resolved it.

Got my dtv from Thai embassy in London

Through e visa website

Very easy process

I have my own business online

Different embassies are charging different amounts.

I got it within 48 hours.

I applied for my DTV visa in the UK as a Freelancer, I rent out an apartment, let's say.

Firstly I did intensive research and read everything since June.

Applied on the 10th September via the evisa online and sent in-

1. Copy biodata passport page

2. Proof of capital

3. An overview of what I did and why I thought I would be a good fit for the DTV

4. Bank statements showing the income monthly over past 12 months.

5. Photograph I had taken and used at immigration in Thailand.

6. Ā£300

Within a day I had a reply asking for 4 pieces of information -

1. Tax returns - no problem submitted.

2. A letter from an estate agent or if not an explanation- no problem submitted with tenant contract and explanation I ran things myself.

3. Upload my flight booking - although not part of the requirements it is a question on the e-visa website - no problem I'd read enough to know so I had a return ticket and submitted it.

4. A photograph close up - no problem uploaded.

Within a day, another request for 2 pieces of information-

1. A formal letter to the Royal Thai Embassy explaining what I do and why I wanted to spend time doing things in Thailand - no problem I wrote a very official letter.

2. Another photograph, they want your face to take up 70 - 80% of the picture - try again šŸ˜†

Then my application went to pending decision, few, I waited and I waited, I thought it wasn't going to happen, then on the 20th 2345hrs it came through approved. Celebrations yay.

Points I noted were, they asked alot more detail than everything I had read suggested, wanted full address and contact details of who/where I was staying.

I'm so overwhelmed, I've had a tough few years and this is life changing for me, a new beginning.

So if your applying, what I take from it is, read and understand everything, have everything and more ready, expect alot more than what the simple flyers say, maybe they are tightening up as more apply who knows.

Thanks to the Royal Thai Embassy

Hi everyone,

to apply for a DTV visa from Vietnam (that is not my home country), do I have to go to the embassy personally or can I apply online?

Thank you very much

This question gets so much spam it is making searching a pain in the ass. Elderly aunt has decided to relocate here so she can be around people who care for her final years. She is not very mobile so I want to avoid as much travel as possible. This means hopefully avoiding going to the embassy in the USA or here. I'd like to get her here on a tourist visa, get everything together, and get her moved over to a retirement visa. What is the "correct" answer for getting the bank account opened? I saw one post that looked like you could get some sort of letter of intent from immigration to bring to the bank?

For destination visa, they ask this:

1) Proof of prolonged residence in Thailand for at least 6 months, such as a condominium rental agreement, lease agreement etc.

This mean that you have to obtain that before asking the visa, right?

So, you will necessarily go to Thailand, find an apartment and sign a rental, then go out in a neighbour contry and ask the DTV, this is right?

There's another way or i missing something?
