TLDR : Answer Summary

A user seeks advice on obtaining a DTV visa in Thailand while becoming a registered owner of a travel agency. They ask if having 500,000 THB in an overseas bank account suffices, whether additional documents are needed, when they can apply, and the best countries for the application process. Responses emphasize the need for income proof, potential tax return requirements, and the general timeline of 5 to 15 business days for approval.

If you are applying Workaytion as a business owner they will want to see income and maybe even company tax returns plus other documents. Why not just go Soft Power instead of trying to play the system.

You need to show Income as they want to know you can pay your way

The 500k THB is viewed as savings for 'emergency" in terms of the application. You can apply as soon as you are registered as the owner. Vietnam Laos, Indonesia are the most popular near to Thailand.5- 15 business days is a general approval guidelines.
