Just applied for my DTV visa at a Thai embassy (walk-in) as a business owner with a few LLCs in the U.S. They accepted the documents I provided and will be picking it up 5 days from now.

UPDATE: Apprently, I’m “supposed” to provide details otherwise I’m just flexing LOL

I went to a Thai embassy that offers walk-in or advanced appointment so I know precisely when and what time to pick up my passport.

I have a business and to increase my chances, I printed a lot of documents which was about 70 pages.

DTV approved today. Sydney, Australia Consulate.

Type: Business Owner

Submitted: 21 October

Pending approval: 24 October

Approved 2 November

Proof of location: Photo card

Proof of funds: October’s bank statement

Proof of work: Signed professional portfolio + signed paper stating I can work from anywhere + ABN registration document

Flight number: put the last leg of my flight SIN-BKK

I’m only travelling in January, but wanted to be safe in case the rules or cost change.

No additional documents requested.

Feel free to ask any additional questions.

Me and my boyfriend got our DTV in Hanoi! 🎉🎉

Submitted on morning of 21 Oct 2024.

Got the email on 25 Oct 2024, around 3pm BKK time.

A fast process given that on Tuesday (22 Oct) it was a Thai public holiday.

I applied using my own business, and my partner with a remote employment contract from a company outside Thailand.

Already on our way to the airport to fly back to our new home, Thailand 😻😻😻

This FB group gave us confidence that we would be approved, through the experience of others! Feel free to ask questions, its great to have a community 👍🏻

Approved in 3 days by the Los Angeles Embassy! 🎉

I applied online for the workcation visa and I'm shocked it was approved so quickly! I'm a business owner/remote worker so here's what I provided in case anyone needs guidance:

* Personal bank account balance summary (stamped at a local branch): I did not need to submit a 3 or 6 month statement, the summary only had one page of my most recent transactions totaling over 500,000 THB

* Additional personal bank account balance summary (just to prove I had additional funds just in case)

* Employment contract: as I own my own business, I made a letter stating I am the full owner, have no employees or business operations physically present in Thailand, and additional information about the formation of my business

* EIN Letter: official documentation showing the registration of my business in the United States

* Evidence of current location: 2 electric/gas utility bills from my home

* Portfolio: 3 most recent income invoices and screenshots of my business's social media pages

* Passport scan and current photo

Because I've seen a hundred people experience this, if you update your passport scan after filling in the form fields, make sure your passport information is correct unless you want to lose another $400

So relieved and thrilled to be returning to my favorite place in the world! Good luck to everyone ❤️

Finger crossed 🤞

Hi,

For those who are business owners, applying for DTV visa and provide an employment certificate/work contract.

Do you sign the company letter yourself to yourself?

Maybe someone has been doing it can share how you did it.

Thanks!

I got approved for my DTV Visa.

This was my experience...

- Applied on Thai E-Visa Website

- Application was handled through Thai Ottawa Embassy in Canada

- I am from Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean, currently living in Trinidad as well.

- Applied as a Business Owner... I'm a Digital Marketer with clients.

- Application fee was $650 Canadian

I supplied:

- Drivers License to show current location

- 1 contract from a client I am working with

- my business registration which had to be validated by a Notary public & validated at my Ministry of Foreign Affairs for international use of the document

- 1 bank statement from The previous month, showing I had the 500k Bhat equivalent.

The entire process took exactly 2 weeks ...1 week of that time was waiting for my document to be validated at the ministry of foreign affairs...and they emailed me the Visa.

The process was smooth with no hiccups.

I got my DTV visa approved a couple days ago. Applied as remote worker/business owner.

I applied online with Thai embassy in Denmark. Fee 2500 DKK.

I applied thursday evening and friday by 11 am it was approved.

I showed bank statement of 500000 THB in my normal Euro account. Proof of current address, i showed copy of electricity bill with address and name on it.

For the last upload, as mentioned in other posts, you can only upload 1 document to show your remote worker status, business owner, freelance portfolio etc., so what I did was:

I made 1 PDF document explaining that I own my own business (I have single person LLC). I described briefly what I and my company do for a living and then highlighed, that as a self-employed, I am free to decide where I work from.

I included the business documents of the company showing that I am the owner and manager of the company. I also provided last 3 months invoices sent out with proof of payment as well.

Furthermore, I showed my tax statement from 2023 - all to prove I have steady income.

I did not include any client contracts, and also I did not provide any flight ticket or proof of accommodation in Thailand. I simply wrote the address where I will be staying, as I own a place in Thailand, but they didn't ask for proof, but I of course have the documents if needed.

Thanks to everyone in this group who have shared their experience with DTV visa. I will be happy to try and elaborate if anyone have any questions, but will be a bit busy next 2 days, so bear with me.

Hi, I need to send my passport from Thailand to Laos for a visa renewal in Laos (I own a business there, but live in Thailand). Does anybody know of a reliable service that can do this?
