ORIGINAL POSTER

I have my own company (e-commerce) in the UK which I earn a small salary from which I plan to use for a DTV application. The company has hit hard times and is making a loss. Will this be a problem?  Could they ask for proof of business activity (Eg. company tax returns or Amazon/eBay shop webpages.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The profitability of your e-commerce company in the UK will not necessarily impact your Thai DTV application. There is no minimum income requirement, but you must have 500,000 THB in a personal bank account. It is advisable to provide evidence of your business's legitimacy through documented webpages or an accountant's letter, which can address potential financial challenges due to market fluctuations post-COVID.

There is no minimum income requirement. Essential to have 500k THB in a personal bank account. Should show webpages as evidence of operating a legit business.The profitability of the business is not going to go against you.

Apply via soft power. All DTVs are the same unless it says in the remarks what you applied under.
