Hi everyone, are Amazon Sellers eligible to apply for DTV? And what would the 'portfolio' be apart from Amazon's monthly payments?

TLDR : Answer Summary
Amazon sellers can apply for the DTV visa, but they must prepare a strong portfolio to support their application. This includes having their own company, a letter of self-support on their company letterhead, and a substantial bank statement showing at least 500,000 Baht. Additionally, sellers should include documentation such as printouts of their inventory from Amazon and any agreements they have with Amazon.

It mean, you have ur own company. Then make a letter under ur company head letter to support yourself. But most importantly is money 500k in ur bank statement. For additional documents support u can print out(screenshots whatever) from list product in Amazon to attach with a self sponsored letter .

They do provide me the Form 1042-S every year for tax related purposes. If that could help in a portfolio?

Yes, that's optional too. I gave them mine, so they don't hold back 30% of my royalties for tax purposes.

Hi, its actually Merch by Amazon platform where I receive 4 figures in monthly royalties from. There's no inventory, other than my shirt listings that appear on Amazon. Also, there no special agreement we had to sign, other than the tick box during the application that we agree to their agreement.
