TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking advice on whether their documentation, including a business bank statement and a letter of self-permission to work remotely in Thailand, is sufficient to qualify for a DTV visa. Community comments suggest that specific embassy requirements may dictate the documents needed, with recommendations to include business registration documents, tax returns, and to consider the nature of their online work, as challenges exist regarding working in Thailand within the tattoo industry. The consensus indicates that providing documentation tied to the tattoo business could complicate the application.

You legal documents showing your incorporation or business information. Do you have these?

I think you want to go the route of self-employed so I suggest you send in 2 documents. One is a self employment declaration (use chatGPT or grok to get the template). Second is your business portfolio doc. Again, use grok to create the templateMichael ********
Mate just go through soft power visa at a Muay Thai studio. No chance any of this will work and you’ll just end up getting rejected repeatedly.

unlikely to be approved at a tattoo business, the 1st thing they will say is how does that work remotely.

If your the business, how can you work remotely doing the tattoo 🤔
You can't work in Thailand.
Only way would be if you own a tattoo shop and people work for you doing the work whilst your in Thailand.

This is only a Facebook page. It doesn’t really say much I gave them my business registration and screenshot of my work and a letter from myself authorizing myself to work

You're going to have to show your income somehow so I don't think you can hide the tattoo business. It might be a lot easier for you to use one of the soft power options

thanks the business company is registered in my tattoo limited company. My money from. Nutrition coaching goes in to my tattoo business.Will. That be ok

@Lee ******************
to be honest I think it would be pretty confusing for them. A business registered for one thing but then getting money from another, I don’t think they’d allow it. Why don’t you sign up to Muay Thai school or something and try that route ?Reply to

Where are you applying? Docs needed are embassy specific. I would avoid mentioning or sending documentation of a tattoo business as it will likely lead to a delay in approval/interview.

applying from the UK.So. Just keep all the information I add exspaining about my nutrition coaching
Wot if they ask for bank statement of the bisness as all my nutrition coaching money goes in to my tattoo business bank account.
Thanks

Yeah, keep the focus on thebonline business. You may need to provide a letter stating you are not operating the tattoo business while in Thailand if your business statements detail such transactions.Daniel *********

have you got yourself a LinkedIn profile? Get one of those going if not, list off your stuff. Maybe get some of your clients to make a recommendation on your profile. Provide the link as part of your portfolio.Reply to

You need business docs
Better to have a website
List of clients or business registration docs
Transactions showing over 500k bath
Remote work contract etc
