What should I do if the Thai authorities are asking for a work contract between my company and my bank during my DTV application?

Hey,

I applied for a DTV online (chose Frankfurt, Germany as location.)

I have my own company (US LLC) through which I do business.

First, they asked for confirmation that I'm employed by the company and can work remotely even though I already sent this - so I wrote another certificate and sent it again.

Now, they're asking for a working contract between my and my bank???

My assumption is that they either:

* Got something mixed up and need clarification which is the bank and which is my company

* Don't understand that this is my company and technically I don't even need a contract or anything, I can of course work from wherever I want (I sent them tons of documentation of ownership, work history, invoices, remote permission etc.)

I think it's best to send them an email and clear up the situation.

Or am I missing something/doing something wrong?

Any advice is much appreciated, thank you!

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is facing challenges with their Thai DTV application after submitting proof of ownership of their US LLC. They received requests for additional documentation, including confirmation of employment and a working contract with their bank. Other users suggest providing clear proof of funds, including invoices and bank statements, and recommend sending a clarifying email to the Thai authorities to clear up any confusion.

If you had read previous successful application posts of similar business structure (sole owner) many included a letter on letterhead authorization of the ability to work remotely and specifically in Thailand as well as stating that person is employed by the company. Do that. Also show your incorporation or business registration documents. Good luck

Did you send any invoices? Proof of payment from clients?

I had to show the deposits into my bank account with the matching invoice details going back a few months (applied in Taipei)

i tried applying as self employed and they gave me a decline so i switched to “soft power” thru a gym so hopefully that’s a good plan B for us self employed/business owner people who get declined
