Hi y'll. I want to change a retirement O-A in a DTV. In country right now and got a little bored. Tested e-commerce and liked it. Want to work remote from here. I do not have a fancy portfolio.

How does the document needs to look? Am I really writing a statement for myself that I want to wrk in Thailand remote and that I do not sell goods in Thailand?

What other proof do I need to provide if I just started digging into e-commerce.

Apart from full-time work, what passive income options have you seen actually work?

DTV and online business issue

Hello, I have a quick question.

I have an e-commerce online and I sell worldwide. Sometimes it happens that some thai people buy through my website or social media. Not many, but technically everyone can find my store and place an order.

I know I can’t sell to thai people on DTV, but the thing is that I can’t even block them from doing it...

By the way, my team can ship from Europe to Thailand. It’s not a task that I personally do, but the business is in my name. I don’t sell digital products so we send everything via international couriers. Money always comes on my business bank account.

How can I solve this issue?

Thanks

My Second Question About DTV Workation Eligibility

Hi everyone,

I run a sole proprietorship in my home country, and I sell my own branded products through online marketplaces (similar to Amazon, Lazada, Shopee, etc.). All my income is generated outside Thailand, and I have no Thai clients, no Thai employees, and no business operations inside Thailand.

I would like to apply for the DTV Workation category, but I am not sure if my case fits the requirements.

👉 Does a self-employed online seller, who earns income from foreign customers/platforms, qualify for the DTV Workation visa?

👉 Do they consider this type of e-commerce income as “remote work with foreign income”?

If anyone has experience or official clarification, I would truly appreciate your help.

Thank you!

Hi guys, I posted earlier but for some reason I cannot comment on it so I’m gonna make another post.

So basically, I run an e-commerce business that generates around €50k revenue a year over the past few years but I am putting most of that back into the business as opposed to paying myself a wage. Otherwise I have multiples of the required 500 K in my savings account.

From some of the comments it appears that may not paying myself steadily from the company won’t be a problem as long as I have the savings.

I am wondering, what document I will need to prepare with regard to the above for the portfolio? I will be going through the embassy in London. I’d hate for my application to be rejected and lose the application fee.

I have my own company (e-commerce) in the UK which I earn a small salary from which I plan to use for a DTV application. The company has hit hard times and is making a loss. Will this be a problem? Could they ask for proof of business activity (Eg. company tax returns or Amazon/eBay shop webpages.

Hope someone could help me, Is online selling or

e-commerce consider as freelancing to obtain DTV visa? Coz Every month i stay in Bangkok to shop and do live selling for about 20days up to 40days then go back to Philippines process the shipments etc then come back again to BKK. all my clients and market is from the Philippines. I’m worried because i was interrogated last time i landed in Bangkok Airport. . Any tips or suggestion will very much appreciated . Thank you in advance!

Hey , so around the summer of 2027 I’m going to be leaving out the army (not retirement) I’ll be 28 and my plan is to use my gi bill to go to college full time learning Thai for 4 years. Any advice of work from home jobs certifications or savings amount and anything else that is recommended to make the move easier that I should do before I move there. I have 2 years to prep.

Stupid question maybe, but if you’re closing deals and getting money sent to you while you’re in Thailand, this is all okay as long as you’re on DTV visa or getting paid in your western countries bank account? What’s considered working in Thailand Vs not?

Let’s at you sell products online or subscriptions to courses.

Isn’t that considered working in the country?

Anybody had any experience applying as a self employed VAT registered Sole Trader in the UK? (Amazon selling etc). Thanks
