I was asked this as pictured, however, I don’t have a company registration so I gave them my employers company number which I had already applied.

Anyone else get this?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around the challenges faced by individuals, particularly freelancers, when asked for company registration details in Thailand. One user shared their experience of providing their employer's company registration while lacking a personal registration. Another user inquired whether it's acceptable to use registration details from a crypto exchange for trading purposes. The comments suggest that this is a common requirement from Thai immigration, emphasizing that verification of employment details is standard practice, especially for those without their own business registration.

What if you are a freelancer crypto trader? Just use the registration number and details from your crypto exchange? And contract is the stuff I have to click "accept" to when I sign up? Or will I have to form my own company in my home country and say the crypto exchange is my client?

I doubt if you trade for yourself and not for clients if they will see that as qualifying for DTV.

In the US this isn’t hard to find. Funny that they are asking for it.

yes, I mean I gave them the business registration number which googled shows all the information I’m not sure what exactly they want

if they ask again - I mean, do they usually cancel/reject if they request additional info and I resent what I initially had done? I feel like I may have messed up by highlighting the number only

@Danny **********
Yes, number only usually not enough which is why they asked again. Difficult to say if they will reject on what you sent., hopefully not.

It's gone into pending approval - this means they've sent it on without the document they've asked me for, I've emailed it to them but they won't see it. I'll call them Wednesday to let them know this, or do you think they can approve with the relevant info (such as reg. number of company?) probably the only case of this happening lol

@Danny **********
It could still be approved with just the registration number .I think they can still see the doc you have sent even if it has gone forward to pending approval

Send them that info under the business registration.

It is a common request. They need your employer's business registration details/certification. Your workplace will have the info,

Will they request it again or will they just cancel the application? I just sent them what I had originally sent with the business registration number that shows the company when googled, What is it they exactly require? Thank you

@Danny **********
The document that details the company"s legal registration as a business. They may ask again but there is a chance of rejection if they are not satisfied with what you sent.

i think I’ll need to call them tomorrow morning and ask them to re-request it rather than cancel it. The registration number I gave them gives all this info so idk

Most Embassies won’t answer your call or email, just have to wait.
