What is the application process and documentation required for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) as a business owner?

Question

I got the DTV in HCMC as a business owner with no additional docs request!! (timeline + paperwork below)

First i want to thank everyone in the group for the collective info. You guys are awesome!

Timeline:

03/12 - Arrived in Ho chi minh at night

04/12 - Visa app sent at 6:44am

09/12 - Went into pending approval around 7pm

11/12 - Approval email at 6:24pm

* 04/12 - 11/12 - I stressed myself to the gills waiting for the verdict 😂 *

Docs submitted:

* Picture of vietnam entry stamp, hotel receipt, hotel booking, and screentshot of the official email from my hotel with the receipt and hotel contact info on it just in case
* Cover letter listing why I want to live in thailand, why I like the country, etc.
* Business approval to work in thailand given by my company to me 
* Business registration with my home state in the US
* Two client contracts with names redacted
* 6 month bank statements showing over 500k baht
* Screenshots of website, youtube channel, and FB business page
* Brief explanation of my business (I am a marketing consultant)

I used a pdf merging site to combine all the docs for the respective questions.

My best recommendation is to use canva for the raw pdfs as it allows you to create a multiple page pdf by default so you can skip some of the more tedious merging.

If you have any questions, let me know

‼️TRIPLE CHECK YOUR ANSWERS AND DO NOT USE AUTOFILL FOR ANYTHING ON THE APP‼️

I even had a friend proofread my basic info like passport and DOB to be ultra sure

Good luck everyone!

Cover letter example:

(Application Date)

I am writing this cover letter to apply for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) under the (insert your DTV subcategory).

I am applying for the DTV because (Insert a couple of reasons why you want to be in Thailand) *I was told the reasons don’t make a difference, but I wanted to cover all my bases so I stated some of my exact reasons to avoid additional doc requests*

I meet the financial requirement, holding a minimum bank balance of 500,000 Thai Baht for multiple consecutive months, as evidenced by the attached bank statements.

*I gave 6 months of statements and I advise you do the same*

*This next part is subjective to your application, USE YOUR BEST JUDGEMENT*

To support my application, I have attached: bank statements showing sufficient funds for the DTV requirements, my company registration, client contracts (some customer names are hidden/redacted for customer privacy), and a letter of recommendation from my company’s Head of Human Resources that states I am allowed to work remotely in Thailand.

Thank you for considering my application.

Sincerely,

(Your Name)
