It was surprisingly easy. More documents requested after 4 business days (tax declaration), 2 business days later I was approved.

could you share a bit more info regarding the process regarding your application, im applying from sweden aswell, will do for both me and my spouse have heard Sweden been quite "easy" comparison to other embassy
Sure, what do you want to know? Everyone's situation is different so i dont think there's one "send this, win" rule you can apply for everyone. I own 50% of a company which I had to explain, for example
Anonymous participant Im also running my own company, did you write letter of sort showing that the company allows you to work from elsewhere? and clients contract etc
Anonymous participant Thanks so much for the reply! will definitely be helpful for when i apply soon! I was quite worried with all the horror story so almost got a agency to help... but seems easier to do it myself now thanks for help
I wrote a short letter addressed to the embassy, stating that I'm a owner, that the company operates online, that I can work remotely and that all income is from outside Thailand. I did not submit contracts/portfolio/invoices. Bank funds + letter + company registration was enough
You may have to show PROOF of your DTV Visa to airline staff on check-in for your flight โ๏ธ to Thailand...even to the connecting airline staff. Or to the land border crossing entry Thai Immigration Officer.
Upon arrival into Thailand, show the DTV visa to the Thai Immigration Officer and look at the STAMP placed in your passport to be sure you are STAMPED in for 180 days.
Thank You for your helpful report ๐
