Will changing my business registration from a Spanish company to a U.S. LLC affect my DTV visa in Thailand?

Hi everyone, I have a question about the DTV visa and business registration.

Last year, I successfully obtained my DTV visa in Jakarta, and the process went smoothly. At the time, I registered the visa under my Spanish-registered business.

However, later that year, I switched my business registration to an LLC in the U.S., as I’ve learned that many digital nomads find this structure more convenient.

My question is: Since my DTV visa was originally registered under my Spanish company, will the change to a U.S.-registered LLC cause any issues?

I’ve noticed that some people get asked business-related questions when entering immigration, and I want to be prepared. Would you recommend updating my visa registration with the new company, or is it better to keep my original Spanish company documents and explain the transition if needed?

I’d appreciate any insights, especially from those who’ve been through similar situations. Ideally, I’d like to avoid visiting the immigration office.

Thanks in advance.

Keep the original and provide explanation. Your visa has been issued, it's a done deal. Doubtful that you'll be questioned that deeply unless you are applying in country for an extension, which isn't recommended.
