TLDR : Answer Summary
The DTV visa requires you to be a remote worker or freelancer. Simply having a retail business with a payroll in the USA may not qualify you. You would need to demonstrate the ability to operate your business remotely and provide appropriate documentation, such as a contract stating your remote work capabilities. Some users have suggested contacting the Thai embassy for specific guidance and noted the importance of proving legitimate income with contractual evidence.

Simply having a business doesn't qualify as someone for a DTV, you have to be a remote worker or freelancer, can you operate your business remotely? Provide documentation about your business draw up a contract for yourself specifically state that you can work remotely and in Thailand with no clients in Thailand.

I got it with my business but had to provide a contact we had with a client as proof were legitimate and have income.

It might be different if you don't have clients, not sure.
