Can I qualify for a DTV visa with a retail business and a payroll of $3500 in the USA?

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.
