I'm a business owner (Photography).

Can someone give me an idea of how I should be creating a Employment contract or employment certificate?

If anyone could post theirs that got approved that would be a huge help!

you can provide invoices labeled as “photography consultations”, “photo edition” to your clients (you can create them now, don’t need to be the old ones if you don’t have) and apply as freelancer, not business owner necessarily

Maybe try an employment contract or employment certificate for a Photo- & Video-Editor. It should state that you can work remotely.

But as a business owner you would probably also want to submit business registration documents, etc…

Baan Thai immigration solutions ... Use can agent for the extra 10k I highly recommend them, they did everything and told me what alternative docs or what the immigration officers are looking for so it's easy to know the first time. Better yet just do soft power and not have to worry about any work information ... Fight EVO360 Thailand - Thepprasit Boxing Stadium makes it easy.

I suggest using other options to apply for DTV. They are starting to reject to better not risk it.

I mean there's no real way to know that. Just like negative reviews, you're always going to hear more negative reviews in life vs. positive right?

I was told by Singapore embassy. But risk is entirely yours. At most just wasted time and application fees could always apply again.

In terms of remote work, you can also say you sell stock photo/video.

I agree with John. Don't make it complicated. I'd just focus on photo editing services if I were you.

@Joel ******
something along those lines but I'd forget photography and friends. It's meant to be a business. I'd just go with remote editing of of images, the sale of prints from a library of existing images, and so on

@John *********
Yeah I had something like this written.

Feel free to let me know what you think?

I offer many things from. Photo editing services. Consultation calls to clients. Selling print products. Marketing lessons.

Before going into my business, I clearly want to state that I will NOT be taking the business of thai people and I will not be doing any sort of freelance business in Thailand to take money away from Thai people. My clients are 90% Australian and a very small amount from the USA.

The services I offer are online editing work of other photographers wedding images (Mostly friends in my industry from Australia), consultation calls to help people improve their wedding photography business from Australia and I sell prints to my clients and their guests which is all done online.

Blah blah blah, something along those lines?
