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 template

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

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 ?

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.

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.
