Hello just know if someone who has his own physical and online company can apply for the DTV

EXPERIENCE ARRIVING IN PHUKET TODAY:

Left Phuket on a business visa (planning to return and cancel it before activating DTV)

Went through the ‘fast track’ at immigration and they said I had to enter on DTV (I didn’t tell them I had DTV, it obviously just came up on their system).

I told them I was advised I had to come back and cancel my business visa and work permit but they asked a few staff and said that wasn’t correct so stamped me in on DTV.

They were very pleasant about it so just an FYI!

Hello. I'm asking for advice. I applied for a DTV visa while was in Bulgaria. I arrived in Thailand with tourist visa for 60 days and two weeks later I saw that I was approved for a DTV visa as a business owner. Now I need to leave Thailand and enter on a DTV visa. Has anyone done this? Is it easy? Thank you very much for your help. I'm a little worried.😊

* Im a bit confused with this type of visa :

One-year non-immigrant visa Thailand multiple-entry: This visa allows you to enter and exit Thailand multiple times. If you opt for this route, you can upgrade it to a business visa once your work permit application has been successfully processed.

Can you extend this visa annually and keep the business without a workpermit? Or do you get it only one year to start the business?

Anyone else use a screenshot of bank account when applying? Washington Thai embassy. Workcation. Business owner.

Things I included in the application :

-Texas ID for proof of location

-Articles of formation and EIN letter from IRS

-Screenshot of my website

-Screenshot of my Shopify sales report for 12 months

-Letter stating that I am the sole owner of my business with hundred percent ownership, statement that I don’t have any clients in Thailand and only have customers in North America Europe

-Screenshot of bank balance with $24,000.

My account is a business account with my business name on it, but I can get a letter from the bank stating I am sole owner of account.

Hey everyone,

I'm planning on getting my DTV Visa in Taiwan next week, early December 2024, and I've been reviewing all the posts from people who got it successfully from this group.

I have my own business and have been working online full-time since 2013.

I'm finalizing all the documents that I will bring with me and here's what I have so far:

- Taiwan sim to provide a number

- Receipt of my Airbnb

- Valid passport (Mine's good until June 2026)

- Photocopy of my passport

- Stripe account from January 2024 to highlight client payments

- Business account with over 500k THB showing cashflow from January 2024 and highlighting the amount that came from Stripe

- Investment account with over 500k THB with my name showing

- Completed visa application form from their website

- 2 x Recent color photo with white background 3.5 x 4.5cm

- Cover letter summarizing what I do for work

- Letter of Employment (written by myself in my company name and signed by me)

- Employment Agreement saying that I've been working for my company since 2013 and I do it all online

- Documents of my company formation in Canada, my name is showing as well

- Contract with clients in 2024

- Invoices I have sent to clients over the past few months

- Print out of my website, YouTube channel, Instagram, and podcast and me conducting Zoom calls with students

- 11k TWD in cash for the fee

Did I miss anything?

Never been to Taipei so just making sure.

Thanks to everyone who shared their experience getting their DTV in Taiwan. It's been so helpful putting everything together.

Hi there a very quick question as I’m not getting a straight answer from Thailand Elite. If someone who currently holds an Elite Visa accepts a job here in Thailand my understanding is that they would need to obtain a Business Visa which would then support a work permit as an Elite is simply a long term Tourist visa. Is this correct and what’s the process and the approximate cost of this ; and secondly if the job didn’t work out how would someone move back onto the Elite Visa?

Apologies for the long question but Thailand Elite don’t seem to be giving the right information.

Does anyone know if I open a company i get a visa longer than 3 months? I want to invest in a business but it takes time to find the right business, Are there agents who can answer? thanks

Strange first time seeing HCM embassy ask income tax. Photo is not my one saw from other gp

Can anyone recommend a service to successfully apply for a business visa?

Because I already had 2 rejected requests.
