Jakarta approval 😃

Workcation application as a business owner

Flew to Jakarta on 5th May and submitted application that day, despite it being a Thai public holiday.

Docs submitted:

Passport bio page

Business registration documents

company tax returns

Letter confirming I am the sole owner and shareholder

Letter confirming company approved me to work remotely in Thailand, high level scope of work

Personal bank statements for last 6 months

Flight booking, AirBnB booking, boarding pass and Indonesia 30 day visa confirmation

Not great timing as Thai PH on 5th, 9th and 12th May!

Refreshed the website every few hours every day until afternoon of 14th May when it changed to pending approval.

3 hours later received email with approval 😃

So all done in 4.5 working days 👍

I'm a business owner (Photography).

Can someone give me an idea of how I should be creating a Employment contract or employment certificate?

If anyone could post theirs that got approved that would be a huge help!

Approved in Taipei:

Business owner

Supplied documents on Monday 5pm

Approved at once, without additional documents or interview, on Thursday 9am

Supplied documents:

Bank statement of personal account with +500k baht and with all transfers of the last 6 months (highlighted all the monthly wages transferred from my business account)

Not needed, but I added 6 months of transfers from business account as well. I highlighted all the incoming money from clients so they could link it to the added contracts and invoices. Also highlighted the wages I paid myself so it could be matched with the personal account transfers.

Contract with client

5 invoices from 2 different clients

Permission from myself (the business owner) to myself to work remotely

CV

Copy passport stamp and Airbnb reservation

Entry and exit statement: you have to get this at Taipei immigration, without it you won’t get your visa. Entry stamp and Airbnb reservation alone is not sufficient

Flight number

Business registration page

Passport biodata page

Picture

Small explanation of what my business does

Hi all,

i’m currently applying for the DTV visa as a business owner from Ho Chi Minh City and have submitted all the documents according to the website.

As expected, they are asking for revised documents for everything, but more specifically for 6 months of salary slips, to be highlighted in the financial statement.

As I currently run my startup on personal savings to avoid double taxation, I do not pay myself any salary.

I’m afraid if I explain this to them, they will decline my visa because I don’t have evidence of regular income.

Again, I’m not applying as an employee or freelancer, but as the company owner. I have one employee who receives a regular salary.

Has anyone encountered this situation?

Thank you so much upfront.

Me and my girlfriend want to get a DTV visa. I meet the requirements (business owner in UK, 500k+) but she doesn’t.

It is possible for dependents to also get a DTV. How can she become a legal dependent without marriage?

I am US citizen, who owns his own business in the US and I don't pay myself a salary but installments. I have shown that I have more than $500K baht requirement with supporting documents to show I own 100% of my business but I have been requested to provide the following below...

It's frustrating because my fiancé got approved with no problem as a business owner but I keep getting asked for more documents... Mind you this is with the Thai Embassy in Los Angeles, CA.

Has any other business owners had to provide the following:

* Other request documents: Guarantee letter from the company implies that you work remotely

* Other request documents: Employment contract or employment certificate from company
