Exploring the option of applying for DTV in Thailand but struggling to find if my circumstances make me eligible.

Am about to become a landlord for one property only, in the UK. Would this meet the requirements for a DTV? Not a registered company, just a landlord with accountant to deal with self-assessment to HMRC. Have sufficient funds in UK.

Would I be viewed as a business owner? I don’t have a cert. of incorporation, nor a tax return yet as landlord status will commence next financial year (April 2025/26) so no tax return until 2026.

Thanks in advance.
Answer summary
The user is inquiring about their eligibility for a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) in Thailand, given their status as a landlord of a single property in the UK, without formal business registration. They are concerned about qualifying criteria due to their lack of a certificate of incorporation and pending tax returns. Responses indicate that self-managing the property online may meet the DTV requirements, and there is anecdotal evidence from other landlords who have successfully secured their DTV visas.

Yeah, it meets DTV requirements, show how you mange the property online. A few landlords have posted their DTV story on the main DTV FB group page. They were approved via the Thai Embassy in London
