TLDR : Answer Summary

The eligibility of an eBay business for a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) in Thailand may depend on various factors. Comments suggest that providing a 6-month financial history is crucial, especially showing evidence of buying and selling goods. However, selling items from outside Thailand might disqualify the business. Reporting income under an LLC and maintaining a taxable profit between $40,000 and $80,000 annually can support the application. In some cases, participants encourage considering other short-term courses if DTV qualifications are not met.

if you fill out a tax form for the business and it makes 40k to 80k a year in taxable profit. Otherwise just go there and sign up for a 3 month or 6 months soft power course

Well, the thing is if you sell the stuff out of Thailand, you’re doing business in Thailand, and you wouldn’t qualify then.

If you drop shipping the stuff and not selling it to my customers, and you can demonstrate that then possibly

that would be doing business in Thailand, so you wouldn’t qualify but if you do for some reason, then I don’t know, but you’re not supposed to be doing business with Thai businesses

Does the corporate entity state it’s an eBay business? If not, I wouldn’t share that it was eBay. Just provide the financial numbers and the money you have in your account that will qualify you.
