Hello,

I want to apply for a DTV as I'm a digital nomad.

I have been operating through a business incubator for over a year, using the incubator’s SIRET number to invoice my clients.

I have a one-year contract, which I can renew with the business incubator.

I have been generating around €4,500 in monthly revenue for the past 9 months.

Under these circumstances, would I be eligible for the DTV, or does the business absolutely need to be registered in my own name ?

thank you 🙏

There could be better long term options with that sort of income that don't cost huge amounts up front. CM or BKK based.

So it's kind of an umbrella company?

Do you have a contract with the company?

Does your income pass through that company?

Without knowing more it's hard to say but it sounds like you would apply under the name of the incubator with relevant documentation from them including permission to work remotely from Thailand

Hello

@John *********

, thanks for your answer !

No, it’s not an umbrella company. It’s a business incubator. This type of structure allows you to start and run your own business activity without having to create your own company and deal with all the constraints that come with it.

I use their SIRET number. I don’t receive payslips, the social charges are deducted and managed by them, and I’m taxed as if I were running my own business.

Yes, I have a contract with them. My first one-year contract has just ended, and the new one was already signed a month ago.

They provide me with a bank account. My clients pay me through this account. The incubator manages my accounting, but I decide when and how much I pay myself.

Yes, I was planning to submit my application by explaining the role of the business incubator: it’s a structure that allows me to invoice my clients, but I remain fully independent in all my business decisions, and for tax purposes, I’m treated as a business.
