I am the owner of an American LLC and my bank accounts are listed under the LLC. I can prove through my state's LLC records that I am the sole director of the LLC, would i have any issues that the money is not in a personal bank account?

Do you pay yourself out of your LLC business account on a regular bi-weekly or monthly basis?

I would suspect if you present the following you should have no issues:

Your LLC documents from the state

A cover letter explaining your business and its success as well as your role in the business and how you will be conducting such business while in Thailand

Bank records from your LLC account

And then if you pay yourself from the account to your personal account you could show your bank records of those payments.

I plan to do the same and would be using initially only my business bank account records. In the event they ask for personal I would submit them but I have the funds in that account too.

I wonder πŸ€”πŸ€”... Would it be possible for your LLC provide a sponsorship letter for your application for the DTV visa?

Showing the LLC bank account balances? And show income receipt/and payments to you doing workcation activities for the LLC.

Showing you as being allowed to perform your work with clients outside of Thailand, remotely from Thailand... Just a thought πŸ€”πŸ€”

Where will you be applying for the DTV visa? Which Thai Embassy or Consulate?

I assume that you have a passport from the USA.

There have been a few examples where they were not accepted. Don’t recall anyone stating they were accepted, it also probably varies by embassy/consulate
