I submitted my application on 1/10 and approved 8/10. This group was super helpful so thank you to all people that commented on my posts to make the process easier.

I thought I would share my experience for anyone who are business owners with multi-layer company structures across international borders.

I am a new property business owner, I own houses for rental and also buy houses to flip in USA. I am a UK citizen so my company structure is layered. The importance was showing the link of my personal name, that owns the UK/Irish companies. Then demonstrate the link of the UK/Irish companies that sit within the USA LLC that own the properties.

I am also a chartered surveyor and an examiner for the RICS (Chartered Institution).

I submitted the following to the London embassy:

1. Covering letter explaining my business and professional profile

2. Link to RICS website showing my RICS profile

3. RICS SLA agreement for being an examiner

4. Company Registration of UK/Irish/USA companies

5. Operating agreement of USA company (showing my UK/Irish company member listing

6. Title ownership documents of 3nr properties

7. Bank statements from all business accounts and personal bank account. Business ones just showed balance, personal showed 3 months which evidenced money coming in from business accounts.

7 days to approve, no additional documents requested. No interview, no flight tickets, no rental contract and no TM30. However I would recommend submitting these as I’ve noticed this has been asked for other applications.

This was a complex application so a little nervous it wouldn’t be approved with my companies only being a few months old. My business accounts have a very high level of money in them to purchase properties so that may have contributed to the easier approval.

Anyway thought I’d share my experience in case anyone submitting are company owners with complex structures!

Any Dutch people here that got the Workation DTV owning their own business in a working company + personal holding structure?

Did you apply as self-employed or as remote worker? As legally you’re employed by your personal holding?

Guys, I’m a stock investor, made $250k on paper last year. Can I get a dtv as an entrepreneur? I’m all working for myself with my personal stock account.

APPROVED - Los Angeles, 5 hours. I didn’t believe it could happen, but it happened last week. I read dozens reports of 30+ days, and saw one or two of <48 hours. My goal was to try to get this right on the first run.

This group helped me a lot so I wanted to add more info. Context - im an entrepreneur with business partners so it was a little bit more complex, but spent a good 5 hours getting everything properly in order. Here’s what I provided for the Workation DTV:

* Passport biodata

* Drivers license

* 3 months of bank statements with 6 figures of funds, with name and address matching license

* Cover letter on company letterhead explaining who I am, my company, explaining that I can work remotely, and confirming that I will not to any work in Thailand for outside companies or within the Thai labor market

* company registration documents (articles of organization)

* documents proving my ownership in this business

* one page visual portfolio of my company

* my LinkedIn profile one pager image

Hi everyone 👋

I’m looking into applying for the DTV (from UK) under the Workcation/freelancer route and was wondering if anyone here has been approved with a similar situation to mine.

Here’s a bit about me:

* Previously worked from home in automotive engineering industry making a decent salary.

* I’ve left that role in September to start my own online business (currently pre-revenue).

* I could pick up contracting work in engineering again if needed.

* I do some occasional freelance work (web/marketing) for UK clients - not full-time, maybe £500-£1000pm.

* I have plenty of savings and no intention of working with or for Thai companies.

Essentially, I’m self-funded, with a past track record of income, some light freelance work now, and the ability to earn more if needed.

Has anyone been approved with a similar profile - e.g. early-stage entrepreneurs or part-time freelancers without a fixed monthly income?

Any tips or experiences would be appreciated 🙏

Thanks a bunch in advance!

Hello, I want to apply for a DTV as entrepreneur but I just START my online business, I don’t have any Customer/ client history yet.

Is it possible ? Any experience ?

Can anyone tell me anything about “Smart” visas for startup companies? 

Good morning to all in Thailand. I am inquiring about visa requirements: is a physical therapy clinic categorized under the medical section of the visa or are specific requirements necessary for that section of the visa?

Hi/sawadi krap everyone, hope you're doing well.

Question about getting a working/entrepreneur visa:

I'm coming to Thailand soon to visit and maybe start a business (quality & healthy fast food concept).

Do you know which visa should I apply for if I want to settle & start this business in Thanland ? And Is it better to apply before arrival or in Thailand.

Thank you 🙏
