What documents do I need to apply for a DTV visa as a freelancer in Thailand?

Question

Hi everyone, I’m about to apply for a DTV visa under the workcation route. I’m self employed in the UK and run an online fitness business.

Has anyone applied recently as a freelancer or sole trader?

I’d love to know what documents you submitted to show your work and income. I’m feeling a bit nervous about missing something, so any tips from people who’ve done it would be really helpful. Thank you!

You got to show the Ltd company. I think I showed the Biz reg + M&A. Then showed my websites where said biz reg matched up. I even made a noindex .txt file that showed I was the owner of said websites (think I wrote 2. Maybe 3? I have many but showed what they would be able to understand). Then the bank statement, a written letter with my company header and footer and signed by myself. An ID that showed I was a permanent resident in said country. Done

PS. Never showed tax return (personal) or AR/P&L/Balance sheet.

They tell you what to submit. If you aren’t fully legitimate or registered and can show turnover / contracts etc then don’t bother as it will get rejected.

Ideal candidate.

Show income, clients, tax history, etc.

Exactly the type of things it was created for.

Try using Siam Legal.  Or book a mauh Thai course.   Maybe easier

For online sole traders, the file that usually travels well is boring and consistent: company/registration proof, a short description of what the business actually sells, recent invoices or client contracts, and bank statements that match the income story. Screenshots of a pretty dashboard alone are weak; officers care that the activity looks real and ongoing. If income is uneven, show a few months of pattern plus reserves rather than one perfect month. Keep the stack coherent — same legal name, same business, same numbers across every PDF.
