Hello Everyone,

I am planning to apply for the Thailand Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) and would really appreciate your guidance and advice.

Here is my situation:

I am a remote worker (motion graphic artist / creative director). Most of my clients are based locally in Pakistan, while some projects come from the MENA region as well.

I operate under a sole proprietorship business (X-Y-Z) which is registered with the tax authorities. Since it’s a sole proprietorship, my National Tax Number (NTN) is the same for both myself and my company.

My company bank account shows an average balance of around 700K+ THB (over the past 3+ months), whereas my personal account balance is around 100K+ THB.

I don’t work as a salaried or contracted employee. Instead, I take on project-based work from both local and international clients.

I have a well-documented online portfolio under both my personal name and company name (Behance, Vimeo, and other platforms).

My business is tax registered, and I file taxes every year.

I am a bit unsure how to present my application given that I am not a salaried employee, but a business owner/freelancer.

👉 Questions I have:

1. For the bank statement requirement, can I use my company bank statement (sole proprietorship) instead of my personal account, since the NTN is the same and I earn under the business name?

2. Should I also attach tax returns or business registration documents to strengthen my case?

3. Is a letter of explanation necessary, describing my work model (remote freelancer / project-based business)?

4. Has anyone from Pakistan in a similar freelance/business setup successfully obtained a DTV?

5. Are there any additional documents I should prepare to prove the legitimacy of my remote income and work (e.g., contracts, invoices, client letters)?

Any advice, tips, or shared experiences would be extremely valuable to me. 🙏

Hi guys, I'm an Irish citizen who is applying for the DTV visa through the London embassy (Thailand don't have an embassy in Ireland). I submitted my application yesterday and got a request today for additional documents: tax returns. However, I haven't been tax resident in my country for over 5 years. What can I do?

Hello everyone, and thank you in advance for your help. I’m currently on a student visa and planning to apply for a DTV visa in July. I understand that I’m not allowed to work on a student visa, but I’ve recently been offered a remote job from abroad. I would like to switch to a DTV visa to ensure that I’m fully compliant with the laws in Thailand.

My questions are:

1. How can I show proof of my salary (which will be paid through SWIFT to my Thai bank account) given that I’m not currently allowed to work on a student visa?

2. Over the past three years, I haven’t paid any taxes because I was on a student visa. I’ve been living off savings from my previous job. If they ask for proof of tax payments, how should I handle this situation?

I’d greatly appreciate any advice, suggestions, or alternative approaches. Thanks!

I am an individual tax resident (not a company) and I sell software online (I don't have any contracts with clients). Can you please recommend to me what documents I should submit. My situation: I make a piece of software similar to a wordpress plugin, and I sell it from my website. All of my customers make a $25 payment that is processed through Paypal. I do over 1000 sales a year, and I transfer the money from Paypal to my New Zealand bank account. I pay tax in New Zealand as an individual , not as a registered company.

I can submit these documents:

*My website info

*My Paypal summary of sales

*My tax return

*My bank account showing the income from Paypal

Is there anything else I should submit?

Id like to apply for my Tax Id Number (TIN) to withdraw my salary from Upwork. I called around the revenue departments and they couldn’t understand me as they don’t speak English. What should I do? Please advise me 🙏

One month for approval for DTV (workcation) at USA - LA Consulate.

I wrote a brief letter to support my application as an online stock trader for my own personal brokerage investment accounts. I included the first page (summary) from my most recent account statement. About 2 weeks after my submission, I was asked for my most recent income tax statement (I uploaded only the first page of my 1040 Fed). About 1.5 weeks later, they asked again for my income tax and this time I uploaded state and federal (including all pages of 1040.) They also asked for proof of 17k USD. My initial application showed a balance of ~16k in a bank money market savings. The next day they further clarified that money market accounts do not qualify so I transfered it to a non money market savings account. There might be some misunderstanding that a bank money market savings is an investment account. A couple days later, approved! Well worth $400 for a 5 year visa.

Hi. I am a US citizen preparing the document package to apply for an LTR Wealthy Pensioner visa. Does anyone know if they require me to submit my complete tax returns (IRS 1040), which would include much personal information including social security numbers, or just the relevant tax forms which document my qualifying income, that is 1099 forms (1099 SSA, 1099R, etc)?
