DTV soft power, can I still have online income?

I heard conflicting answers about it and I would like to clarify my doubts.

I am getting DTV through soft power, but I have an online business (website) with a small income (1k euro monthly usually). Am I allowed to keep working on the business even if I got a DTV via soft power?

Thank you

“I buy cars in the USA and sell them online to customers in Latin America through my website. I started this business in 2016 and have been working online since then.

I reinvest my profits back into buying more vehicles and growing the business. I currently have around 500,000 THB available for investment.

Before COVID, I regularly did border runs in Thailand to stay legally.

I would like to know if this type of online business can qualify for a digital nomad visa. I am looking for guidance and help.

Thank you very much, and I apologize for any inconvenience”

This might be a silly question but can you legally work online with a dtv visa ?

Hi guys,

I have an online business that grossed around €50k in revenue but most of that was put back into the business rather than paying myself apart from in dribs and drabs.

Do I need to be seen paying myself on a regular basis or will the business turnover be enough. Also, I have multiples of the B500k in my personal current/ savings accounts so hopefully that will appease them.

Thanks

Hi All,

I'm new to this group. Last month I visited Thailand for a week and loved to stay for longer. I'm planning to apply for DTV.

I started my company in my country 3 months ago but the operations are yet to start. It is an online business and currently products are under development.

Am I eligible to apply for DTV? Do they ask for monthly revenues?

or Is it better to apply under soft power category for now?

Kindly advise.

Thanks

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to apply for the DTV visa as an American selling on Amazon and eBay. I run the business under my own name (sole proprietor), filing taxes in my name with a Schedule C (profit & loss form for a business).

I’ll be applying electronically through the Thai Embassy in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

Does anyone know if Amazon and eBay stores screenshots (that show my name) are accepted as sufficient proof of a business? Or do they usually require additional documents like W9 from Amazon, bank deposit records from Amazon or IRS tax filings?

Would really appreciate hearing from anyone with similar experience or who’s gone through this process. Thanks in advance!

Hello guys, I'm planning to apply to the DTV. I'm traveling to Hanoi in 9 days (and discovered that I need a visa to Vietnam, didn't expect Canadians need a visa). I just started my online personal brand and I don't have good income from it yet to showcase payment slips or something. I do have the fund in my bank account and I have some money in crypto. Do you think it's better to sell myself as a crypto trader (and I'm not a trader, I just invest in crypto) or an online business owner as also I have a company in the UAE and I have all the official documents. Please advise.

Thank you.

Hi there,

If applying for a DTV visa based on being the sole proprietor of a small online business. Does any know more information on what documents should be included in the “professional portfolio showcasing digital nomad, remote worker, foreign talent, or freelancer status”?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I am on a DTV visa as a freelancer. Can I open an online shop, make handmade artwork, sell and ship from Thailand to non-Thai customers, or will this be considered a local business? Any advice?
