Hi, I have a question. I own a one-person company in Poland. What documents might the embassy require from me to obtain a DTV visa? The obvious one is the company registration document, but what other documents might be required? I will be applying for a visa in Poland in Warsaw.
For the business owners applying for the dtv visa , when you applied did you said that you are the owner of your business or just a employee of your own business ?
I did some research to figure out what paperwork I need to submit in my case. If anyone applied on the same grounds,
could you let me know if this is the right paperwork..?
I have an LLP registered in the UK, I'm the only "person with significant control", working remotely for another EU based company. Came up with this list of documents that I'd have to submit;
Core Visa Items
* Passport bio page (valid ≥ 6 months).
* Recent passport photo.
* Proof of current location in the country of application (entry stamp, visa, hotel/lease, etc.).
* Visa fee payment receipt/confirmation.
Employment Proof (foreign employer)
* Employment Contract (with remote-work clause, signed by Designated Member(me) + Employee(me)).
* Employment Certificate (one-page HR-style letter on LLP letterhead, confirming role, start date, salary, remote work incl. Thailand, and no Thai employment).
* Letter of Intent (personal statement to embassy: purpose of stay, funds, compliance).
Financial Proof
* Personal bank statements (≥ 3 months) showing ending balance ≥ 500,000 THB.
* Bank statements showing transfers from LLP account to personal account (salary trail, ideally 3 months).
Optional
* Companies House Certificate of Incorporation + Current Appointments Report (tying your name to the LLP).
* Client contract or invoices proving LLP’s business activity
So when applying as a business owner, is that pretty much the whole documentation you need to submit? Am I missing anything?
I’m a Canadian in Thailand (5+ yrs on Non-B, paying taxes) running an AI consulting biz (HK LLC, US clients). My visa expires end-Aug 2025, so I’m applying for DTV (freelance or business owner?) to bridge to LTR for PR later. Which DTV category is best for PR transition? Planning to apply in Cambodia/Vietnam. Advice appreciated!
I did put things to gather in a very organized used way and met each of their requirements. With a nice cover letter explaining my situation and my purpose for coming to Thailand (workcation - no additional business ties and not working in Thailand for a Thai company etc)
I was a bit confused about whether to apply as business owner or employee since I am employee of a corporation that I own.
The employee route is the way to go in this case.
I just signed my own letter saying I am permitted to work overseas. Beyond this they also want articles of incorporation and an explanation of the business (I went a bit overboard here and gave them some screenshots of my e-commerce store front and business bank statement showing money coming in)
For personal financial proof I provided my bank account and it showed my salary being deposited each month from my business.
Drivers license worked as proof of address.
Just communicate with them before you apply about questions and they will clarify them for you. (Canadian embassy people seem pretty nice)
Hi guys. What additional documents do they want to see for the DTV?
They state: "Please provide details about your current work, including (1) your CV or portfolio, and (2) examples of your work, along with any supporting materials that demonstrate your experience and qualifications."
I am confused: I already provided a letter mentioning that I am a business owner/property manager and manage an airbnb in NYC. I provided the listing and a proof of income for 2024 & YTD 2025. I also provided the documents of my LLC.
I am a business owner and plan to submit an application in Hanoi in a few days.
I want to make sure before I submit all these forms:
I prepared -
- a business permit
- an accountant's permit,
- a bank permit,
- Bank transactions from the last six months - With 500 thousand baht in the account.
- photos from my advertising website,
- Receipts from the last two months
I would like to know from someone who has gone through the process in the last few days Are these all the documents or do I need to prepare something else?
I'm submitting the application towards the end of the month - do you think they will also ask me for July receipts?
Just wanted to share my DTV visa experience with the Thai Consulate in Dubai.
I applied as a company owner and submitted:
• Trade License
• Share Registration Agreement
• No Objection Certificate (NOC)
• Bank statement
I don’t keep funds sitting in one account for 3 months. Instead, I open monthly fixed deposits — every month I transfer money from my personal account into savings to earn interest. It’s clearly visible in the statements that funds always come from my personal account to deposits and return back after each term.
At first, I submitted 4 separate statements for March, April, May, and June, showing I always had over 500,000 THB.
However, the consulate requested one 3-month statement showing the required amount.
Today I provided the 3-month statement along with a cover letter explaining my deposit structure.
Just wondering — has anyone else faced a similar situation with DTV applications?
Got approved in 4 business days in Hanoi (business owner). I provided an overabundance of supporting documents including six months of bank statements and documents from my state government showing how long the companies have been in existence. It was much faster than I was expecting.
I won't leave Hanoi for a couple of weeks so no report yet on how smoothly the transition through airport immigration went.
Overall I think it is a process that doesn't come close to requiring the use of an agent.
I’m new here just have few questions to ask and if anyone can help.
I just arrived Thailand about two weeks ago from Canada. So I’m Canadian. I’m a business owner in for over 4years. I will like to apply for the DTV visa or if any other advice can be given. I already got an apartment here with 6 months lease. So what will be the best way for me to apply? What are the requirements for business owners. Also I will be traveling outta the country( Thailand ) very frequently maybe every 2 months. So do I really need the DTV if ever or what advice can u give please?
