Trying to find out whats the best way forward:

I've been in thailand for 5 months (1 visa run with short overstay). Tried to open a company and get a wp but got scammed (hence the overstay).

im considering going for a few months to bali, applying there and coming back on DTV.

i have the money in the bank, but my income is very unstable as i do some group coaching twice a year and thats where most of my income comes from

i have my own company, could pay myself a salary

any advice or things i should read on? would be greatly appreciated. im a south american national but also have european passport if it makes any difference.

Hi,

I am applying for a DTV and just got asked for more information. They are requesting both a company registration and DBD. I received the DBD form from the school, but they don't know what else would be required as the paperwork for the DBD form is their registration according to them

Does anyone know the difference between the 2 things, or what else they could mean as company registration? Thank you!

I only have thai bank account but it's not under the name of my company, is it okay?

I recently exited my full-time software developer job and planning to freelance now in the same field. I have good bank balance but what documents I can show as a freelancer?

Hi, hope everyone is fine.

Any recommendation of lawyer/accountant for company registration? In hua hin. Would be thankful.

Is anyone know if you can keep your company if you would stay longer than 180 days outside of Germany? Or will there be any problems with the main residence or what could happen if you stay longer abroad, like in Thailand with DTV Visa. I'd like to have a German customer with a freelancer company to live and work from Thailand as long as I can. And then repeat

Just landed at CGK airport and submitted application as soon as I had visa on arrival and WiFi connection.

Status: Processing

Pending Document Check (1)

Notes: DTV application cost showed up as $343 on my card.

Visa on arrival for Indonesia was $32.

3 and a half hour flight from Bangkok, approximately.

Will update as the process moves along. Hopefully something good by the end of the work week.

2nd request for Further document completed.

Remarks: I tried to kinda go a bit all out with this one since I felt a bit uneasy about them giving me a 2nd document request. I had to dig up some of these documents and spent a bit more time preparing it.

I submitted the following documents, combined into a single PDF.

-small cover/explanation letter

-Letter of acknowledgement from the state of Texas about my company registration.

-Receipt from when I made the payment for the company registration, to the state of Texas.

-My credit card statement from that month showing that payment.

-The original form form from when I did the company registration.

looking for non-B visa references: if you've successfully registered a company and got a working permit with a non-B visa or know someone who has, I'd love a contact reference. TIA.
