bro its dtv = destination Thailand visa. Most people on it don't even work 😅

I read through your post btw, I think most is salvageable but what screws you is not having proper paperwork. Meaning company registration, maybe tax number and tax returns. They really like official documents supporting the category you're applying under. That's how I submitted it and got it with no questions back

It would be more helpful if such discussions would shift from 'what do do you do' to 'how do you do it'

In the end it doesn't matter if you do crypto trading or youtube. What they want to check is your financial stability, legal status and supporting documents

It took me several days to get all the documents ready and officially translated as business owner. Nothing sketchy about anything I do but if they want up to date confirmations, contracts, tax reports, cover letters it is quite a bit of paperwork.

Agreed some people probably hesitate because they don't comply, but even if you comply theres valid reasons to just go on a weekend trip somewhere else rather than dealing with your local IO which dependent on where you are has their own individual rules and sometimes several hours of waiting time just to get to talk to an officer

I've had the exact same setup. The important thing is not your setup with your customers, it's to proof how you are set up (usually self proprietorship as freelancer) and providing proof of it (registration number, tax payments) as well as proof of having continuous income either through your first line customer (the one that pays you) or portfolio / explanation if you have your own product for example

I would dm you with more details but you're anonymous unfortunately

Not everyone lives close to immigration, also at some immigration you wait half a day in a queue to get it done

I get where you're coming from, happens to many people in here. Thats why theres so many disclaimers about double checking the information cause their image detection is faulty. My data was detected wrong too, went over every field again, double checked and edited what was wrong. It's like autosuggestion. Helpful sometimes but you cannot rely on it, in the end you need to make sure that the information is correctly entered into the fields

This sounds like a troll post. No info regarding what kind of DTV, circumstances, proof of funds. Legal team? Making the case when they think it's 100% and yet it was denied twice?

I feel like I'm on Twitter falling for ragebait lol

Anonymous participant If you are self employed I assume you have a sole proprietorship? If yes then you can apply with that no problem

Same in Samui. They even have staff helping out people who didn't fill it out yet

What matters is not what kind of business you do but whether or not you can do it remotely and have official documents that state your income (tax reports for example)

Whether its Tiktok, Crypto, Youtube or anything else.. It doesn't really matter as long as you have it under an umbrella of a company outside Thailand. That is what matters, and then obviously the specific requirements stated for the type of DTV you apply for
