Anonymous participant you can just make it like mine of course with your information. Dont forget to add the verbatim provision that you wont seek local employment and that your money comes from outside thailand. This is what they are really looking for at the adjudication stage. Your application went from pending document check to pending approval correct ?
Anonymous participant this visa does not allow local employment . It is really important that your company first allows you to work in thailand. YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY LOCAL CLIENTS . You will also not seek local employment. Make the letter professional . A company is expected to have a seal they really care about this things in asia . Attaching what i did for myself but again this is my own company. Hope this helps
Anonymous participant Did you highlight the payments from the company to yourself . They should match your yearly salary and what is reflected on your last 6 paystubs
yeah man it all depends how you can justify the entries into thailand. DTV is a tourist visa after all . Just a little more flexible with how long you stay etc π
BeachDude the fact that i worked as an intern at an embassy travel for a living and have a brother that works in us customs and just common sense really. I also have seen the abuse some people have done to the system that i dont see this visa staying longer at list in its current form. Its not sustainable. All other visas are been screwed proviledge business etc. why would someone apply for those just why? I have seen countless of people do the math and move into this one so sooner or later someone in the goverment is going to see the trend and make the adjustments. Mark my words and save this message the thai always figure it out if you give them time. To be in βstatusβ as per the visa terms you have to be enrolled at a school if you use the soft route . This is how you got your visa and everytime you enter the country the officer is supposed to check your status. This visa is so new and open to misuse fraud etc that with sometime they will learn there are just too many people that have gotten this visa that should not have. At that point all they have to do is build an interphase where you have to upload your classes every couple of months. Than they will make this schools confirm that you are paying and thus qualify for the visa. Like in covid times they had a list of hotels sha or someting like that. As for the business owners they can require you to resubmit financial statements etc. The DTV is a tourist visa after alll hope this helps π
Thank you it is about time that people understand YOU ONLY HAVE ONE SHOT. Send your best one or dont cry over a rejection later. 6 months of bank statements its what i have seen with most recent approvals. Congratulations on your visa enjoy thailand π
Anonymous participant for the bank statements they want to see the pay slips for the last 6 months. If you have a business you should always separate the financials from your own. In my case i have a business bank account that pays me every month. This i do for taxes in the us as i can do a lot more deductions and this is the structure my accountant recomends. HIGHLIGHT THE PAYMENTS MAKE IT EASY FOR THEM to find what they are looking for. Your pay slips should match the deposits coming from your business account to your personal account. If you are lost with all this info. Than take the soft route find a school and get a sponsor. Business owners have a hard time with the financials . Once you are approved thats it they could not care less about you. In the soft option i anticipate ALOT MORE REQUIREMENTS TO β CONTINUE IN STATUSβ as most people just stop attending school and keep the visa and can potencially stay in thailand for 5 years OUT OF STATUS from an immigration standpoint. There is not nice way to get this visa you either will suffer on the approval phase or mark my words they will make sure you are β IN STATUSβ spending the money at schools in the future. Hope this helps π
Anonymous participant this is the letter i did to myself. Again this is my own business so your story may vary in this sense. Be professional a company is supposed to have a seal etc. dont just sent a letter to satisfy the requirement. In asia they really care about this small things
