Hello everyone,

I’m a freelance programmer, and I work with a platform called xolo.io to issue invoices. My agreement with them is a partnership agreement.

I’m in Hanoi, trying to get a DTV, and the embassy keeps asking for an official certified business registration of my company.

I don’t have a registered company; I’m a freelancer, like someone working on Fiverr.

I sent them my agreement with xolo and two contracts with clients, but it seems they got confused and think the client contract represents my company.

I’m not sure what to do. Has anyone experienced a similar situation?

I submitted to LA consulate on Friday and today they're requesting 2 documents that I've already submitted:

1. Proof of business registration - I submitted a PDF copy of my client's EIN registration document and secretary of state account number + LLC details (pulled this one from the state's corporate business search website)

2. Employment contract - My contract is labeled as "service contract", as that is what my client's company calls them

I submitted a self employment declaration letter and a cover letter also that both indicated all of these but I'm wondering if they just missed both of these in the original application?

Do I need to relabel the contract something else + submit a diff LLC doc or just submit again what I originally sent in with the application?

Self employed and applying in Ho Chi Minh

I have bank statements, client contracts, paid invoices, etc.

Do i need to submit my business registration and/or tax ID?

And is there any other documentation that can give me an advantage for quick approval?

If both are needed, i can submit, but i need to make sure I have every single doc to make this smooth as possible as most of my life is currently in Thailand since I've been living here a few months hahah

What documents should I check from a Muay Thai gym before I pay them the full fee for a 6-month membership, eg biz registration?

DTV approved in Berlin Embassy in Workcation category 🥳

Hello lovely people! I promised to give a big update when my application is approved. I got a lot of info and help from this group and lovely group members. So I hope my post can help others too.

I applied on 11.10. at Berlin Embassy. I am a German citizen with a private Limited Company registered in UK and I am the Company Director of it.

I provided:

- Business registration (PDF Download from companies House)

- Self written Statement letter giving all Information about the Business activities of my Company, that I have no Business in Thailand and dont intend to Build any, that my stay in Thailand will be only for Personal reasons and that I will work Remote during my stay in Thailand (signed and wet Company stamp)

- business contract between my Company and a customer, including which Services my Company provides for that customer (b2b)

- 3 invoices from my Company showing that my Company Generates income

- flight ticket

- booking confirmation for a rented condo for 6 months

To proof 500.000 Baht I downloaded a PDF Bank Statement of my WISE Account, showing around 15.000€.

On 21.10. I received a request for further documents, explaining that my Business registration can Not be accepted, because it is Not a German document. International documents had to get legalised by an official of the State Where the Company is registered plus by the Thai Embassy in that state.

Besides that they didn‘t accept my passport photo, because I scanned one and uploaded it. So you really need to go to a Professional Studio and get a digital foto.

Because I stay in Germany at the moment I had to Order the documents from companies House, send them back to UK to get them legalised and again send them to UK Thai Embassy in London to get them legalised by them. That took me more than 4 weeks despite express shipping.

After I had all documents legalised I uploaded them and got approved on the next day 🥳

I am very happy and hope that my application story can help you. If you have any questions, just ask in the comments 😊

See you in Thailand 🙏🏻

*Applying for DTV in Ho Chi Minh two weeks from today*

I’m self employed and I do business consulting and brand management for different types of businesses, but i have service agreements with each client signed by me under my business name.

What are the best practices for including client contracts?

Also how should i show my personal income? Should it be my LLC paying me as an employee or do bank statements for 6 months suffice?

I have the bank statements but I really don’t want to deal with back and forth of requesting more documents.

I know the self employment can be a little wonky some places

All help appreciated, this is my first visa ever so I’m nervous😅

Looking to apply for a dvt as an Australian citizen.

Do I just need to supply a business registration from Australia ? Starting a consulting company and wish to work on it from abroad

Hey everyone,

I own little ecommerces shops that brings me between €1-3k / month.

I am about to validate my demand of visa but i would like to get some potential advices and recommandations before.

I’ve redacted a full document explaining in detail my activity, you will find the table of content of this document attached.

I am a small company i don’t know anything about accounting etc i use my professionnal account as an individual one.

And lastly the only proofs i got to show my revenu is bank statement of november, october and september in which we can see that all the transactions and that the account is growing by 1.5k / 2k every period.

Do you think it will be sufficient? Do you have any tips to share?

It’s for the thai paris embassy.

Has anyone applied as a sole proprietor? I have my own company but I’m not incorporated. I’m curious to know if someone got approved and what the proof of business letter looked like.
