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 could very easily be asked for your most recent income tax filings.

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.
