Hello Everyone,
I am planning to apply for the Thailand Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) and would really appreciate your guidance and advice.
Here is my situation:
I am a remote worker (motion graphic artist / creative director). Most of my clients are based locally in Pakistan, while some projects come from the MENA region as well.
I operate under a sole proprietorship business (X-Y-Z) which is registered with the tax authorities. Since itβs a sole proprietorship, my National Tax Number (NTN) is the same for both myself and my company.
My company bank account shows an average balance of around 700K+ THB (over the past 3+ months), whereas my personal account balance is around 100K+ THB.
I donβt work as a salaried or contracted employee. Instead, I take on project-based work from both local and international clients.
I have a well-documented online portfolio under both my personal name and company name (Behance, Vimeo, and other platforms).
My business is tax registered, and I file taxes every year.
I am a bit unsure how to present my application given that I am not a salaried employee, but a business owner/freelancer.
π Questions I have:
1. For the bank statement requirement, can I use my company bank statement (sole proprietorship) instead of my personal account, since the NTN is the same and I earn under the business name?
2. Should I also attach tax returns or business registration documents to strengthen my case?
3. Is a letter of explanation necessary, describing my work model (remote freelancer / project-based business)?
4. Has anyone from Pakistan in a similar freelance/business setup successfully obtained a DTV?
5. Are there any additional documents I should prepare to prove the legitimacy of my remote income and work (e.g., contracts, invoices, client letters)?
Any advice, tips, or shared experiences would be extremely valuable to me. π
