ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
A Swiss citizen intends to apply for the Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) in Thailand as a self-employed individual planning to operate a UK Ltd webshop. The individual seeks clarity on whether an officially registered company is mandatory for the DTV application or if alternative documentation like a business plan and proof of the webshop would suffice. Community responses suggest that while having a registered company may strengthen the application, others have successfully applied using a portfolio and necessary documents from the UK.
