What should I include for contact information and how do I classify myself on the eVisa application: Business Owner or Freelancer?

eVisa application Thailand visa accommodation contact business owner freelancer self-employed sole proprietorship

ORIGINAL POSTER

Just filling out the eVisa application. Just to make sure I don't get rejected for understanding something wrong I have two questions:

1. Within 'accomodation in Thailand' Contact No. - do I put my contact number in Thailand in there or the contact number of my landlord?

2. Could someone explain the distinction between 'Business Owner' and 'Freelancer' on the application? I’ve looked it up, and people say the line is a bit vague. For context, I’m self-employed and run a sole proprietorship with a tax number. I'd go for business owner but I'm not sure what the Thai embassy defines as freelancer

Thanks in advance!

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is filling out an eVisa application for Thailand and is unclear about two aspects: first, whether to provide their own contact number or their landlord's contact number in the accommodation section; and second, the difference between identifying as a 'Business Owner' versus a 'Freelancer' given that they run a sole proprietorship.

1. Address in Thailand. I gave them a copy of my lease and put my personal telephone.

2. I would use your sole proprietorship info (I did). I also gave them a copy of my AoI (business registration). I also included a cover letter introducing myself and my company. Make sure you include something to the effect of - my clients understand work will be conducted remotely from Thailand.

I got mine in Laos btw.

When you say use your sole proprietorship info you mean register as 'business owner', not as freelancer?

Got the cover letter already explaining my situation, as well as a portfolio, 6 months bank statement, confirmation of being self-independent since 6 years by my government and 2023 tax return. I could give them a contract with a customer as well but I'm not sure at what point it's overkill

Do I need all 500,000 THB in one bank account for my Thai visa application, and what documentation do I need to submit for my employment as a sole proprietor?
