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
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is applying for the Thailand Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) as a remote freelancer with a sole proprietorship registered in Pakistan. They seek guidance on whether they can use their company bank statements for the visa application, the need for tax returns, and if a letter explaining their work model is necessary. The community has responded that, while the bank statement requirement typically favors personal accounts, supporting documents like tax returns and evidence of legitimate income may strengthen their application.
