ORIGINAL POSTER

What documentation have others provided for successful proof of self employment?   I'm a 1099 with an American based LLC.

Is there anything that would be advisable NOT to provide?

TLDR : Answer Summary

There are varied experiences regarding the documentation required for proving self-employment for a Thai visa. One comment mentions not having to provide any proof at all, while another suggests having a written contract from the LLC that specifies you are employed by it and permitted to work remotely.
