Hi everyone, has anyone applying for a DTV visa as self-employed through the Thai Embassy in London successfully used an SA302 downloaded from the HMRC website? Mine shows only my name and UTR, with no address. Is this acceptable, and is an SA302 actually required? What other documents did they ask for to confirm your self-employment? Thanks!
Answer summary
The SA302 document is not specifically required for the DTV visa application at the Thai Embassy in London, but it can be used as supplementary evidence of self-employment and income. Applicants may need to provide additional documentation depending on their business structure, such as client contracts and invoices for sole traders, or company registration documents for limited company owners. Proof of residence is also needed, and the embassy assesses each application on a case-by-case basis.

Another lazy person, than won’t do any effort himself to do proper research, but just put up questions that has been answered numerous times allready.

Most of the questions can be answered by thoroughly reading the website of the Thai Embassy you will apply at, which is a lot more trustworthy source than facebook.

There is also a manual in the top right corner of the website you apply at,

That practically tell you how to fill in every field, and you can start the application and stop it temporarily if facing doubt, and then late continue from where you left off.

Do not use autocorrection.

Do not translate the application website.

Taking screenshots of every page before continuing, could be helpful.

When the application is completed the make a digital copy of it and all supporting documentation, and keep in your sky, tablet or phone.

Every Thai Embassy process visa applications little different, so without information about which Embassy you apply at, you won’t get right information.

You will get a lot of bonus information by researching and filling out the application yourself, about what is expected of you, during the stay in Thailand.

The London Thai Embassy doesn’t specifically list an SA302 as a required document for the DTV, so it’s not part of their standard checklist. You can still include it as supporting evidence of your self-employment and income, but it won’t replace the required proof of residence.

For self-employed applicants, the supporting documents depend on how your business is structured:

Sole trader/freelancer: A professional portfolio or website, client contracts, recent invoices, and corresponding payment records.

Limited company owner: Company registration documents, evidence of your role in the business, and a cover letter explaining your activities and how you operate remotely.

The embassy also specifically mentions business registration or a licence in the applicant’s name for self-employed non-UK citizens.

Every application is assessed individually, and the embassy may request additional evidence.
