Is it possible to apply for a DTV Visa while setting up an LLC without earning income?
Hey beautiful souls 🌸
I'm planning to apply for the DTV Visa and I'm currently building my online coaching business.
I’m thinking about setting up an LLC soon — does anyone know if it's still possible to do the DTV if I create an LLC, even though I'm not earning any money yet?
Would love to hear your experiences! Thank you so much 💖

I highly recommend not going this route. You have to provide lots of documentation that you have a sustainable business. Consider soft power.

Not really. You can draw up some documents yourself and as long as someone is paying you and you have the 500,000 in the bank you've got a viable business as far as the consulate is concerned.

You can't have any business interactions with Thai entities, clients, etc. the business needs to be registered outside of Thailand. Although there is no income requirements you'll need to show a viable real business with contracts and clients or a history as a freelancer.

this. You need to show invoices and effective payments of said invoices

If you show them a lot of money / stocks and good history, it may be okay

The main problem is that so many people are making it obvious that they are not being honest about there intent or reasons for wanting a DTV. Immigration are very aware of this. Peoples attitudes and comments make it seem like it is fine to do it. The post below is literally telling somebody to lie...
