One of the requisites for the visa is info on your portfolio. If your client has a website that you do work on but his company name is a different name completely but has no website for that company, and your income, ( although no income requirements are stated its often asked for ), is paid from his company name.

How are we supposed to show proof. Do we need all his company details and registration papers. ? , and how do we show proof that his company owns the website if none of it shows his company name. Just trying to cross i,s and dot the T,s.

Hello, I am a French passport holder and will be returning to Thailand with a Visa O over 50 retirement visa at the end of May. I understand that the French embassy provides an income verification letter. However, when I present this income verification document to Bangkok immigration when requesting the one year extension, can the immigration officer choose not to accept it? (I understand that everything about our lives in Thailand is at the discretion of Thai immigration and I also am aware that I can transfer 800,000 baht into a Thai bank account and present this as financial proof instead.) I am asking for clarification from anyone who has used the income verification method and if it is feasible or risky option. Thank you.

I only have thai bank account but it's not under the name of my company, is it okay?

Can someone explain what the embassy wants? I uploaded official documents that show my income, and they still don't accept them.

It is vor non immigrant O, 3

Months, I’m literally desperate

Hello all, I would like to get some feedback from you all on something as I will soon be trying to apply for the DTV.

Regarding the "Employment contract or employment certificate" that the application asks for: I am a remote worker, employed by a company based in the U.S. That is to say, I am an employee of that company. But I don't have a contract with them. I believe they call it "at-will" when you don't have a contract, which mean either party may terminate the employment at anytime. In this case, is it okay just to have my employer write a letter addressed to the embassy stating my name, what I do, etc, and that they give me permission to work remotely in Thailand? I found a template online that someone else used, they call it a "Employment Confirmation Letter". Will this be sufficient in place of a contract?

Secondly, I understand that a salary amount needs to be listed in this letter. Do you know if it should be monthly or yearly? In my case, I'm still considered an hourly employee where I clock in and clock out when performing work duties. And so my paychecks are not always the same amount, as it depends on the number of hours. I'm wondering if I can just use the yearly amount reported on my 2024 W-2 that I used when filing my tax return.

Thirdly, some of the examples I seen others use for this employment letter, it was signed by the owner. Do you know if the letter specifically needs to be signed by the owner or can the General Manager's signature also be sufficient.? In my case, the owner hardly ever visits the property. It's the General Manager that I report to and oversees all of my work. And it was the General Manager that I originally went to asking about working remotely. The owner of the company basically leaves all of the decision making up to the General Manager. But I'm not sure which is the more appropriate signature in this case, or if either will do.

And lastly, are there any other additional documents my employer needs to provide other than this permission letter? Of course I will provide payslips too (I assume 6 months worth?), but I have access to my payslips myself. Just wondering if there's any other information that the company I work for needs to provide?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Soo. I am a freelancer, but I don’t get “payslips” or invoices for my local clients(I’m from India). I just met the clients I have locally in person and they told me what they would want every month, and I provide them what they want every month for which they transfer me the payment every single month. I’ve got the same fixed payment from these clients every single month for the last 2 years, but I don’t receive any payslips or invoices for the same.

I have more than 2 million THB in my savings account(way more than the 500k required for DTV) and I also have freelance clients through fiverr and have an Etsy shop. But the fiverr and etsy shop aren’t something that give me a fixed monthly income. it’s on and off and some months I get a lot of clients and some months are flat af. Do you think I can apply for a DTV based on my local(2 clients) that I have even though I can prove the payment through showing the payment in my bank account and can present my tax statements, but don’t have payslips or invoices for the same?

Does anyone have an official source confirming that the Canadian Embassy in Bangkok no longer issues income verification letters for visas in Thailand? If you have recent information or personal experience on this, please share!

Muay thai Soft power DTV - I have the 500k and all the docs required but no income for few years.

Is the ''unemployed'' occupation a red flag for them ?

Do we better have to put freelancer instead ?

Any similar situation ?

Hello, i looked on the net and could not find the answer to my question : i saw that to ask for an O visa, i just need proof (among other things) that my pension is above 2000 euros and no need to have a thai bank account (unless i mistead). Is this still the same when i ask for the 1 year extension? I saw that i might have to have a bank account in thailand just like the O-A. The goal is to avoid the hassle of opening a thai bank account which seems difficult.

Hello all. My question is this, as I can’t find an answer on the official page in regards to Retirement Visas. My wife and I are both over age 50. I am retired and she does not work and hasn’t for some years. We would like to move to Thailand and apply for a Retirement Visa but the requirements state each applicant must show individual income proof. Is my wife able to be a dependent on my retirement Visa? If not, if we both apply for retirement Visas, can we both use the same joint bank account as income verification? Thanks in advance.
