URGENT! Looking for advise.

After two rejections, I am trying again from Laos. I have my own company and I have a personal holding. I am employed by my personal holding.

Would you recommend applying as a remote worker ('you work remotely for an overseas company'), or applying as self-employed ('you own and operate your own registered business')?

I technically do both.

To fulfill the requirements for the DTV, you will need evidence including:

Company registration documents

Proof of business income (bank statements, tax returns)

Business presentation deck or website

Your current CV or resume

Business license or permits

Regarding the bank statements and tax returns, is there any minimal requirement? Do you have to at least earn a specific amount? And regarding tax returns, you just need to show the files of the last quarter?

Update from CNX today 9/5 noon.

There were 2 international flights that arrived together.

The lines were pretty short and I waited 5 minutes.

The IO looked at my DTV and stamped me in for 180 days. He asked no questions.

Customs was closed and the bags came out quickly.

Easy peasy!

I am in Thailand for 33 days on a tourist visa. I will extend my 60 days to 90 today and I will leave the country in 3 days to Vietnam for 2 weeks and apply for the Muay Thai DTV at the Thai embassy. If I do not receive the visa in less than 2 weeks and then return to Bangkok for a social event before its approval, I will have the stamp to enter Thailand as tourist but will not have the dtv. How will this affect my dtv application? Will it still be approved while I’m in Thailand? I assume I would just have to exit and re-enter for the dtv to activate after approval right?

I’m planning to apply for DTV in Penang via thaievisa.go.th and would love to hear your experiences. Has anyone applied from there? How did it go? Was the processing fast (5-7 days?) and were there any challenges with documents or Please share your insights – it would help me and others a lot!

I just received an email for requested documents for my DTV application, but I don't know what to submit. Even tho I submitted most of supported documents in the original application.

Here is the list of requested documents:

1. A copy of the company's registration/business license along with GST registration

I do not have a registered business. I work as a freelancer with independant monthly contracts. What documents should I submit here? Can I submit my client's LLC? What else should I submit to support my case?

2. Flight details and Hotel accommodation

I had submitted the flight number (no tickets) & agoda hotel bookings. Do I need to book a flight now and submit the ticket itself?

My hotel bookings were booked on 'pay later/free cancellation' option. And they have expired, do i need to rebook or should i just submit the pdf that was submitted in the original application?

3. A foreign employment contract or employment certificate

I do not have a employee certificate, although I do have a few client's contracts. I was also advised to add a letter head and stamp of your name at the top of the contract. What do you suggest?

4. Copies of all pages of the passport

I can submit these.

PS. I am applying at the Mumbai's thai consular in India. From other's experience, they tend to look for strong proof of regular employment and if one can sustain themselves in thailand.

I am very grateful for this group and the people in this community helping each other out šŸ™. Thank you so much to everybody! All respectful opinions are appreciated!

What happens if you trade stocks or crypto while on a dtv is that considered working or, or could that be a way for income while you are there?

I just submitted my DTV Visa following mainly what was said here in the group (and with the help of ChatGPT).

But now I just discovered that the Belgian Embassy asks for 15.000 EUR proof in bank statements on their website? I thought it was still the 500K baht? Any other Belgians can confirm/deny?

I submitted my application on 1 September. It has already been 4 working days and it's still in pending documents check. Is it normal to take that long?
