What documents are needed for the DTV visa as a business owner with an overseas company?

ORIGINAL POSTER
Hello! Has anyone here successfully applied for the DTV visa as a business owner with a company incorporated outside Thailand?

I'm wondering what documents you used to prove your company's legitimacy and financial activity. My company is in its first year, so I don't have any filed tax returns yet - only one year of business bank statements showing cash flow.

Did the consulate accept management accounts, or do they require statutory accounts that have been filed with your country's registry?

Any insights would be really helpful!

TLDR : Answer Summary
The DTV visa application process can vary based on individual circumstances, especially for business owners with companies incorporated outside Thailand. Insights from other applicants suggest that while some were able to get the visa using minimal documentation such as business registration and proof of ownership, others were required to provide additional documentation like employment documents or management accounts. It's advisable to check with the consulate regarding their specific requirements as they can differ.

I think it depends. I got it with a registered company with no activity. Only sent business registration and proof that it's mine.

I said start building a saas. Didn't ask for more docs.

Yes, I did and the embassy handling the DTV application asked me to provide employment documents even though my tax documents showed my income from self-employment and ownership. Eventually I got it as an employee, not as a business owner.

It might be easier to apply as an employee of the business if you can show payslips etc

I dont understand the question. The point of DTV is non business in thailand. So all workation DTV are for freelance or company abroad.

If you work for thai companies or clients you can NOT have DTV
