For those who work as freelance, what business registration do you use? I have a client I work often with and thinking about using that? But it's not monthly payments but project based.

TLDR : Answer Summary

Freelancers in Thailand typically use the business registration of the company they are working with, supported by documentation such as letters detailing payment conditions and contracts. It is essential to show legitimate sources of income like tax papers and project contracts to meet visa or banking requirements.

I used the business registration of the company I work for. Also included a letter from them detailing how/when they pay me and the bank account they deposit payment. Project based income is fine.
