Government fee10,000 THB per applicant, or the equivalent the embassy sets in local currency; non-refundable
Police certificateSome embassies ask for a criminal record certificate; we check what yours asks for

What we check in your file

The company is real and active: registration certificate, latest annual filing or tax return, recent invoices or merchant statements, and a live website.
Your role: your name on the registration, shareholder register or a director's resolution.
Where the money sits: the 500,000 THB must be in your personal account, not the company's.
Authentication: whether your embassy wants company documents legalised or translated.

What if I'm…

…a founder whose savings sit in the company account?
We plan a transfer to your personal account early enough that the statements your embassy reads show the full balance.

…a sole trader without a company certificate?
We use your business registration or tax filings and invoices to show the business is trading.

…also a shareholder in a Thai company?
We check your role. If you manage it day to day, the DTV is the wrong visa and we tell you which one fits.

Why business-owner DTVs get refused, and how we prevent it

Funds in the company's name. We check the money is personal.
No proof the company is trading. We add recent invoices, filings and payment records.
Unclear what the business does. The cover letter explains it in plain words, with clients outside Thailand.
Documents not legalised where the embassy asks. We check your embassy's requirements first.
Names and dates that do not match. We cross-check every document.

If you are refused
Every DTV file we prepare is backed by the Thai Kru guarantee. Ask us for the details. We also go through the refusal reason with you and tell you plainly what we would change.
