What additional documents can I provide to support my DTV application as a sole trader in Australia?

Looks like that embassy dont allow you to do trading. Need another embassy. Also most banks can give you notarized documents

They are asking for 1x statement of your bank and want proof you have an abn and company setup

Sorry to say but it’s actually quite clear they don’t accept investing as a remote job. Consulting would be okay if substantial. I think having multiple consulting contracts would likely be enough and invoices to do with those but best practice would be a US company where you hire yourself and pay yourself a salary from said investments/consulting

Pm me I’m a trader also, and did it I can give u advice to do it.

there seem to be a number of issues.

In Australia any australian bank will have $ in front of the number. I can almost guarantee this as I have and had accounts with numerous AU banks. Can you get the Currency conversion from the same bank that holds the account?

One issue might be that it is a joint account. This could be a problem as the other person might be able to operate the account so could take it all and you are left with nothing. This might be the rationale about the bank account as the 500K are meant to be emergency funds.

as for the remote work they clearly told you that trading personal shares is not a type of remote work. Do you trade shares in a company structure? If so you can write yourself a letter / employment contract from the company to state that what you do, that you are allowed to work from TH and that you will not work in TH or for TH clients.

as for the income show your personal bank statement that shows any income

Had problems with my bank statement as my name was stated in Chinese characters. They don’t tell you that. I discovered it and tried to change it at the bank (they said 3 weeks) so submitted a bank account in Singapore instead and that went through. If you have another bank elsewhere submit that.

Also they don’t care what currency you have - I didn’t hold a single THB.

Sole trader is not a remote work.

Anybody can claim to be a sole trader lol

I had problems with my company documents untill I got them attested and then legalized by the royale thai embassy in Dubai (my company is in Dubai)

What goes for bank statement i uploaded that a couple of times, and uploaded a page after the statements that highlighted amount 3 months ago and then again 3 months later (currency was AED so i guess the do the conversion themselves too)

After that I got aproved.

The 500k thb can not be in INVESTIMENT account!

Stock trading is not accepted as remote work.

I think there are threads on stock trading not qualifying as remote work. One must be clear about the DTV category first, prior applying.

Your statement should mention AUD or at least $ somewhere. If not, it should be clear from which bank it is and just explain in the cover letter.

For the proof of work, I don’t think that’s enough you need to show that you’re making income. So exactly what they mentioned: signed agreements and invoices that match your bank statement. A sole trader status is not really proof of income.

Hope that helps, I just got mine a couple of days ago

The 0 equivalent thb is what is tripping me up. They can clear that up pretty quickly usually. Pay a visa company your situation sounds strange/complicated

You don't tell us what job you are doing, only that you do it as a sole trader.

The remark "Investing in and buying personal stocks is not considered remote work", suggests that you consider managing your personal stock portfolio as a remote job, and they don't.
