As every embassy or consulate has slightly different requirements / paperwork for a DTV, I wanted to run this scenario by all of you so that you can point out any pitfalls I might encounter.

I want to apply for a remote workers DTV in a few months.

Recently I set up a Sole Proprietorship company in another country ( Indonesia ) where I would be acting as the sole shareholder/ director of the company but not as an employee.

The company specializes in Business Consultancy and this is the seasonal work I would be doing while inside Thailand for six months a year.

None of my client base is inside Thailand, all Europe.

The problem is, like Thailand it is a PITA to sort out work permits and business visas for Indonesia but I do NOT need any special visa to be an UNPAID director or shareholder of a company registered there.

The only future income I will be earning will be when I will be remotely working while in Thailand.

So, taking into consideration that I am not an employee but a documented business owner / majority shareholder of a non Thai company with no proof of income YET , will this pass the application process and can it be explained away ?

I can show 500.000 thb in a Thai bank account for over 3 months.

Still undecided as to where I will apply.

Suggestions, comments and advice how to address this issue appreciated.

Can you please share your experience experiences and advise regarding Remote workers visa? How easy to get and maintain? What are the ways to meet requirements for etc? Ty
