Anonymous participant do you have current personal income tax filings in the UK. Not business tax filings, but your personal income tax filings? That has a good possibility of being asked for.

From what you are saying, and your history, you are going to have a serious problem getting a letter from the company you work for stating that you can work remotely in Thailand, as on the DTV you can not legally physically work inside Thailand. You can only work for a business outside Thailand, and not doing work in Thailand.

Here is something to serious consider before you do anything. If you keep working for your current employer right now, before you start your own company, and he will write a simple letter allowing you to work remotely, then with the other documents to apply for the visa, you will get the visa very soon after you apply, as long as the equivalent of the bt500,000 has been in your personal bank account long enough (from 3-6 months at most locations now). After you get the DTV THEN quit, and set-up your own business to work contract work for your current employer. It doesn't change your five year visa. It won't affect it at all. Doing it this way makes it all much easier, as it sounds like your employer will work with you to make it happen. Just saying.

When you present appropriate identification they ask for in person then you immediately get your money as the account is closed at that point instead of frozen. They tell you they are closing the account, but in reality it is frozen first. Then when you either present ID they ask for to get your money, or it stays frozen until the account no longer has enough cash in it to pay the account fees.

Just make sure the landlord files the TM 30 for you living there.

keep dreaming... lolol

Every document must be up to date, not years old. Anything that does not relate to your application, like your cat, don't mention them. If you have actually searched past posts in the group most of your other questions have already been answered, and from people actually applying in Spain.

Wherever your money is that's what you use.

there is no certainty in anything, but from many reports of rejections after the applicant left the country they applied in, it is an educated guess,with a high rate of probability.

Not staying in the country you applied in is a reason lots of applicants were refused.
