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

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

DTV approved just now! Canberra, Australia Consulate.

Thank you to a few anonymous posters for their advice, I was considering just using an agent and doing the soft power route even though I am self employed - until reading their posts and I am very glad I did it myself! Super super easy. Had everything ready before I started (took me maybe an hour to prepare) and uploaded and submitted the application within 30 mins.

Type - Business Owner/director

Submitted: 12th Feb

Additional documents requested: 14th Feb they asked for proof of financials of the 500k thb, strangely I had already uploaded 2 different screenshots including a bank statement, but it seems they preferred a proof of balance letter from my bank which only showed the amount on that date, in AUD. I also showed well over the 500k minimum on all 3 screenshots.

Approved: 19th Feb at 5pm

Proof of location: Australian drivers license

Paperwork: Cover letter + employment contract from me to myself, signed only by me, proof of balance letter from bank, THB to AUD conversion rate screenshot, ASIC business extract

Flight number: Flight number into bkk in 2 weeks, no exit flight

I want to apply for a Digital Nomad DTV Visa on 26th February at the Vientiane Embassy in Laos. My occupation is Business Owner, so I would like to know which documents I need to provide. I’ve noticed in this group that the embassy sometimes asks for additional documents, like a contract agreement or a work contract (B2B). Could you kindly clarify?
