What documents do I need to apply for a DTV visa as a business owner with a company outside Thailand?

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!

Agreed easier to apply as an employee, I tried to apply as a business owner and they asked me for employment documents. As for the business itself provide official government registration documents and any investment and news articles proving it's a real, legitimate business and not a scam (currently a big problem in the region).

Easier to apply as an employee of the company but you will need to show pay slips or similar

You need a private account with your name on it for the 500k. For the business they often want to see business registration, some salary from compamy to you etc
