DTV Visa from the Los Angeles Consulate

I am a freelance photographer with a history of visiting Thailand visa exempt and with single-entry tourist visas.

I applied on August 25th for DTV Workcation as a freelance photographer on the evisa website of the Thai Consulate in Los Angeles. I uploaded the following documents, each on signed in blue ink, as a multiple-page PDF:

1. LLC organization document issued by Secretary of State’s office.

2. Tax ID number document issued by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.

3. Company annual report for 2023 certified by the state Secretary of State’s office

4. Portfolio of photographic work in the form of my website

5. Artistic resume listing exhibitions and publications where my work has appeared

6. Letter on company letterhead stating that I am able to take all the time I need to photograph in Thailand.

7. Most recent brokerage statement.

8. Copy of state driver’s license.

9. Recent passport photo.

10. Biodata page from passport.

On September 17th, the Thai consulate requested that I upload a company profile.

On September 18th, I uploaded the company profile as instructed.

On September 19th, I was notified of DTV Visa approval.

Hi! What did you mean by uploaded company profile? Like your company website?

The request to me was for "a company profile." I reacted much the way you did, so I Googled "company profile" and got examples and sort-of-instructions from, I guess, business texts. Try that search, and I think you will get the guidance you need. My company website is my portfolio.
