Question about DTV via UK business owner:

Hi everyone, I plan to apply for the DTV via route A (buisness owner, freelancer, foreign talent).

I own a UK company that provides scientific and engineering research consulting, specifically in battery chemistry, materials and electronic engineering.

I have over 500,000 THB in my personal bank account, from consistent salary+dividends (3 years of self-assessments).

However, I do not have any active consulting contracts at the moment, as I’m taking time for buisness strategy planning, professional development and further research.

Will lack of active contracts be a problem for DTV approval? Thanks

Your finances look solid. Lack of active contracts isn’t automatically a problem if you show your company is active and explain your current work/plans in a letter. 😁

It might be, generally they want to see how you can support yourself for the duration of the visa. The 500k baht is nowhere near enough

Not in the least... most important is a certificate stating you can and will work remotely from your business.
