Does anyone have any experience of applying for a business visa? I will be looking at opening a business in Thailand but yet again Google really is not my friend with the conflicting information!

It says I must apply via a Thai embassy but goes on to say "you may be able to do this once in Thailand" May is not "you can" which is why I am here

Before asking Google I was under the impression that I can apply for a Non-B once inside Thailand but apart from that, I was hoping someone could run me through the process and any pitfalls to look out for.

The business will require premises so I will hire a solicitor to "rubber stamp" the contract so I dont get any unwelcome demands or changes by the landlord and will get them to check my paperwork is ready to submit

Foolishness will be punished by chinese burn and a nipple tweak 😁

Hi all. I am planning on applying for the DTV from Laos for workation purposes. I am director/shareholder for a long established UK limited company. I am trying to work out from the embassys website what i need to get the uk office to send over for me for this visa. Has anyone in a similar situation applied? Could you confirm what you needed to provide them in that circumstance?

like, they ask for it to be stamped with a company seal which most uk companies dont even use, for testimonial from customers confirming my work there etc etc (which seems unneccesary as I am not a freelancer)

Any advice appreciated. :) thanks

I'd like to share our experience with the DTV visa application process in Ho Chi Minh City.

I'm choosing to post anonymously because my past interactions haven't been positive. Although some responses to my questions were kind, I encountered a few rude and mean individuals, with some even accusing me of copying other people's content. Despite that, I simply wish to share our journey.

While many say it's an easy application, we opted for Watt, a highly reputable visa agent from

[members only]

for our peace of mind. I believe it was 100% worth it. Although abundant guidance exists online, I'm not particularly adept with documents and tend to over-submit, so I entrusted Watt with the process.

We are e-commerce business owners; my husband is the CEO, and I am the operations manager. We arrived in Ho Chi Minh City on June 4th, and Watt submitted our documents on the same day.

Here's a breakdown of the documents submitted:

Passports with visa stamps

Passport photos

Business registration documents and licenses

A concise employment verification letter, co-signed by both of us for each other

Six months' worth of personal checking account statements showing over 1 million Thai Baht. We met the 1 million Baht requirement for two people in the last two months. Since we are business owners, Watt suggested applying separately, which we did.

Timeline:

June 4th: Paperwork submitted online to the Ho Chi Minh City embassy.

June 7th: Supporting documents requested:

Proof of residence for me, for which I resubmitted my visa stamp along with two receipts bearing my full name (from nail and massage services, easily obtainable).

CVs or business portfolios with two work samples were requested for both my husband and me.

After submitting these additional documents, we traveled to Hoi An and Da Nang with our son. However, our Airbnb was in Ho Chi Minh City, so if further inquiries about our primary residence arose, we could confirm it was Ho Chi Minh City.

June 11th: My visa was approved.

June 19th: My husband's visa was approved.

The entire process was systematic and straightforward. Yes, we paid an agent's fee, but it was minimal and, as mentioned, 100% worthwhile.

Now, we're packing our bags and ready to head to Thailand! ❤️ If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.

Any one apply and get a non b visa. In order to start a small business in Thailand? Sounds like 30k investment in the business is needed

Applied for a business visa. They asked for a document indicating current location (Filipino who traveled to China for business). Submitted my entry stamp as a proof. Few days later, my application got cancelled due to "Inadequate support documents or explanation."

What else do they need or is there anything else I failed to provide? I don't have a hotel booking either since I'm currently staying in the company dormitory here in China.
