What were the steps and requirements for getting a Digital Nomad Visa as a UK Limited Company owner in Thailand?

I just got approved for my DTV as a UK Limited Company owner.

Yep, at 10pm on a Bank Holiday.

I wanted to share my experience as I couldn't find many others in my situation. It took 6 working days (if we count today as a working day) to be processed and approved by the London Embassy.

In my initial application I sent:

1. A covering letter explaining my relationship to Thailand (recent holiday there), why I wanted to workcation there, and why it would benefit Thailand. I also confirmed that neither me nor my company would undertake work for or with Thai businesses or Thai people while there.

2. Passport photo page

3. A phone selfie taken on the day of the application

4. A headed letter from my company, in my capacity as Director, addressed to me, confirming that the company permits me to work remotely in Thailand for the duration of my visa. It also confirmed my duties.

5. Certificate of Incorporation

6. Driving license as proof of address

7. Screenshot from Companies House showing my appointment as Director

8. A personal bank statement showing £14,500 funds. It was a new savings account opened a few days before the application, and I transferred £14,500 to it the day of the application.

The morning after submitting the application I received the "Request for Further document" email.

They asked for:

1. Photograph taken within the last six months

2. Other request documents: - Your Professional portfolio or Your company description or Employment contract / Contract agreement.

There must have been something wrong with the first photo (it didn't show much of my shoulders) so I sent a new one.

I also sent another headed letter from the company describing the nature of the business, as well as providing a small portfolio of work.

5 working days later I got the approval email.

Pretty easy.
