Anyone get the information required for filing income as a workcation DTV
The deadline to report is March 31. I was told that previously it was only if in country 6 months but now I read that any online business or creator or influencers need to report income. Never stated 6 month
Entry update: Entered Thailand via Chong Mek land border. I didn't ask him, but it seemed to be the immigration officer's first DTV, as he had to make a call and confirmed the 180 days. Everything went smoothly, got 180 days stamp. So happy! 😁
Just got my Workcation DTV approved from Vientiane Embassy as a self-employed online trader (Canadian passport). I do not work for a company, so I do not have a work contract. I also do not have any clients. I only manage my own trades. I do not have a registered company, only a registered Sole-Proprietorship business in my own name in my home province.
I won't list all the basic documents that everyone has to submit no matter their situation (form, pictures, passport, proof of location, etc), but here's what I submitted for my personal situation to show my digital nomad status:
- Presentation letter where I explained what I do and listed my business registration number and the attachements/supporting documents to follow
- Copy of my Sole-Proprietorship business registration
- Copy of my profit withdrawals to date in 2024
- Copy of my trading/tax reports to date in 2024
- Copy of my income tax report/notice of assessment for 2023
I did ask them in advance about the 500k, they had told me 3-6 months. I provided 6 months, but my statements are 14 pages long, so I only provided the first page of each statement that showed the opening balance, closing balance, my name and full address (no transaction detail) and that seemed to have been enough to make them happy.
When I went to apply, the person checking my documents asked me if I have an ATM card for that bank account specifically. I said no. He asked how am I going to access the money while in Thailand. I explained that I transfer to my Thai bank account and then have an ATM card for that account. He did not ask for any document related to my Thai bank account.
Again, this is at Vientiane Embassy. Don't rely on this if you apply anywhere else or have a different situation. I applied on 23 Aug AM (Friday) and received it today 27 Aug PM (Tuesday).
