First post on here ,

Iam a sole trader doing AC in the UK, can I use my tax return as proof of the Employment part of the requirements? For the DTV visa , I will be doing 6 months thai then back to the UK for 6 months. Tia.

Has anyone applied as a sole proprietor? I have my own company but I’m not incorporated. I’m curious to know if someone got approved and what the proof of business letter looked like.

I applied for the DTV visa in Germany (digital nomad), and they’re asking for my 2022 and 2023 tax returns. I haven’t submitted the 2023 return yet, so I can only upload the 2022 return. Should I just upload that one and note that the 2023 return can’t be provided at this time?

My flight is in one month, and I won’t have the 2023 tax return by then. I’ve tried calling multiple times but haven’t been able to reach anyone. Thanks for the help!

I applied for the DTV visa. Now, they’re asking for my tax returns from the last two years. Do they want to assess my income, or do they just want to know if I’m paying taxes?

DTV granted in Vientiane, Laos.

Self employed private tutor.

In relation to employment certificate:

I provided my tax returns to confirm my self employed status.

I put "self" down as guarantor.

I also provided a copy of my Vientiane hotel booking + a photocopy of my Laos entry stamp on my passport.

Back Statements: 5 months.

My passport Data page.

I had a copy of my Thai condo rental agreement on hand, but did not have to produce it.

I arrived around 8:40am on Thursday morning, for the 9am open doors.

Took less than 5 mins to hand in my documents.

Was told to call back on Tuesday at 1:30pm to collect. Again, this took about 5mins.

🙏

I am currently living in Thailand working as a remote online contractor for a UK company. However I don’t get official pay slips etc. I could get a employment contract but I am worried if they ask for more information such as pay slips I won’t be able to produce them. How often do they ask for additional info like this? I’m planning on applying in vietnam.

I am considering just going the Muay Thai soft power route. It will basically double the cost of getting the DTV but it seems much more likely to succeed.

Does anyone have any advice?

Hello, I am a self-employed freelancer - will showing my online portfolio of work be sufficient to fulfill the employment part of the DTV application?

LTR for wealthy Global citizen. For the 80k. Are you allowed to count in wins/losses on the stock markets?

Can anyone confirm if they earn money back home (and pay tax) and in Thailand after 180 days do you magically get told by someone to file a tax return? Or you just don't?

Hello everyone, I have been interested in leveraged exchange and cryptocurrency since 2017. I earn all my earnings in this way now. I have no problem with 500K. I can show this in my bank account both in Thailand and in my own country. I consider myself as a freelancer, but it will not be enough for me to see it alone. Can I get a DTV visa if I show my old CEX transactions and my DEX transactions since 2021? Thanks in advance for your feedback.
