I applied in the UK. I'm also self employed but I was advised to setup a Ltd company and make myself a director. I wrote a letter to myself giving me permission to work remotely in Thailand.

DTV is a visa, the purpose of your visit/entry scheme is what determines if you qualify or get the visa.Reply to
