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

Hi I want to apply for DTV visa via London and wondering what to give for question 4 below,

Employment contract or employment certificate in their country or professional portfolio showcasing digital nomad, remote worker, foreign talent or freelancer status.

I don’t have a company or employment contract but im am self employed and have HMRC self assessment tax returns so wondering if thats ok.

Appreciate your help.

Hi :)

Want to check relevance for dtv so here is some background on me:

Currently in Thailand. And plans to leave for Hanoi in a week to get the visa

Working remotely for an Israeli company with a pay slip and everything, one year already.

I got the 500,000 today in my bank account. But in the last 3 months there was in the bank about 200,000. It makes sense to get the visa or it's risky?

🙏🏻Thanks

DTV question (Hanoi vs Taipei vs KL) (Softpower vs Job contract)

I’m a contractor for a company and I have my own freelance business.

First question is which one of those 3 should I go apply next week?

Second question would be should I go through to Muay Thai school route or rely on my contractor job position? (Not sure if it matters, I’m a sales director as a contractor, not full time employee)

Any suggestions would be helpful, thank you

Hi all,

My wife and I are planning to base ourselves in Thailand for the next 2–3 years and (fingers crossed) start our family there. I’m a remote employee for a U.S. company and my wife freelances. A few questions on the DTV process:

1) For the 500,000 THB financial requirement, will bank statements from investment/brokerage accounts be accepted, or do they need to be from a cash/checking/savings account? We have sufficient funds, but one account dipped below 500k recently due to an investment.

2) I’ve seen people mention an employer letter confirming permission to work remotely from Thailand. Is this actually required, and what wording do they expect?

3) I’ve also read that some consulates ask for recent payslips. My wife’s income varies as a freelancer. Because of Trump's shenanigans, lots of business (her clients) put a pause the last six months so he income has been very low to 0. Things are finally kicking in back into gear and she is signing up a few clients, but they won't likely start right before we apply for the DTV visa. Would this be a problem for her application even though we cover the minimum $ requirement? Would you recommend to have her as a dependent, rather than apply for her separate visa?

4) If we apply for her as a dependent, does that mean I have to first get my DTV visa approved and then apply for her as a dependent? Is there a way to do it simulatenously?

Hi, not sure if I complicated things for myself so just would like some information / sources of info.

1. I have a contract offer to work remotely for a foreign company as a freelancer.

2. I have a Thai marriage visa up for renewal soon. But the marriage visa alone doesn't allow for working in Thailand.

3. Is it a smart idea to move from the marriage visa to a DTV to be able to work remotely? Why or why not?

Thanks for any clarifications given.

DTV question. If a company based in Japan were to hire me to attend events in SE Asia on their behalf, including public appearances in Bangkok, would this be allowed as per DTV guidelines around working in Thailand?

Any help appreciated. Just had a request for additional information from the Australian Thai Embassy.

I'm unsure what I need to provide for the "business registration of my company", as it isn't my company, I work for the Company and have provided my statement of employment. Also stated that I an employee and remote worker.

"Other request documents: Please provide a business registration of your company."

Hi. I'd like to apply for a DTV visa in Poland. I have an employment contract with a new employer from September 1st. I work 100% remotely. I've spoken with my employer and they can issue me a document authorizing me to work from Thailand. Do you have any experience with this? Will the embassy approve this form of employment for two months?

I'd be grateful for any information and advice.
