Basically
1/ they want to show 500k to check that you have money to take care yourself
2/ they look that you have a activity, mainly because they don't want you to work locally, and that you have a activity ( if you show them big saving if you have low income it is better ( 15k is minimum ))

Anonymous participant they can ask but if you can show the company registration that should help. Do you pay tax anywhere? That you can also show

not really, been digital nomading for a while so I'm not a tax resident anywhere , and the company pays 0 taxJohn **********
Anonymous participant you do realise that will change if you bring income into Thailand in any year you are a Thai tax resident (spend 180 days or more inside Thailand in a calendar year)? I think that's why they might want to see a tax history

Participant(e) anonyme you can show them personal tax report and not company tax report. Or a certified accounting report should be ok too.

well, lots of people with these 0 tax LLC's, maybe someone has experienceChristopher ********
Anonymous participant if you don’t have a tax return, you don’t have one to submit. I mean, that’s all you can really tell them.

I just wonder if that would passChristopher ********
Anonymous participant well when did you file for the LLC? It’s a show on the paperwork the filing date and if it’s this year, then you couldn’t file taxes yet, I would probably just write them a letter of explanation.

Do business owners applying for a DTV in Thailand need to demonstrate regular income from their LLC?
