TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion reveals mixed experiences regarding crypto traders acquiring a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) in Thailand. Some users report rejections due to insufficient proof of steady income, while others suggest the possibility of approval with the right documentation, such as proof of remote work or self-employment. Concerns about the perception of crypto trading as stable income are raised, with some participants advocating for the validity of other income sources like dividends. Overall, it appears that while some crypto traders have successfully obtained the DTV, it may require careful preparation and potentially a supportive financial background.

If Thai immigration accept traders who has enough cash/uninvested growth balanced in broker account, I guess (I should not guess) in probability, should be possible

In all culture, stable income is nothing better than holding a lot of cash, and paradox is, those have stable income that major from job, pension… etc, doesn’t mean stable in life

yes right

I think Thai immigration is more interested in real money than horse race betting coupons

Why not? Proof of steady income isn’t even a requirement of the DTV. 500k THB in savings is + some proof of either remote work or self employment.

what's needed is proof of employment and permission to work remotely in Thailand

Right. Issued that letter for myself - showing owning a registered business in Germany.

So much Crypto ignorance on this post!
Sacher *******
Crypto ignorance? That sounds like something a tranny would say about people not using pronouns.

Get over it, the whole crypto thing is still worth less than investment funds in the tiny country of Luxembourg.
Tom ********
@Sacher ******
Obviously you know nothing about Crypto!
Sacher *******
@Tom *******
I run a licensed investment dealer and a crypto fund. You?
Tom ********
@Sacher ******
I have my own investment fund too , by the way don't try to tell me Bitcoin is worthless, Luxembourg net worth f $96.993 billion,

Just blackrock alone hold half of that at over $47 billion in Bitcoin and then you have these Individuals With the Largest Bitcoin Holdings

Satoshi Nakamoto: ~1.1 million BTC. Satoshi Nakamoto is the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin. ...

The Winklevoss twins: ~70,000 BTC. ...

Tim Draper: ~29,656 BTC. ...

Michael Saylor: ~17,732 BTC. ...

Changpeng Zhao. ...

Strategy (MSTR): 580,250 BTC. ...

MARA: 48,237 BTC. ...

Riot Platform: 19,211 BTC.

nice try Mr fund manager. Luxembourg has 14+T AuM and Crypto is worth less than 4.

And what does that even mean - Luxembourg's net worth?

I could bet you my left bollock you are not licensed in any jurisdiction for anything but driving a car given the gibberish you talk.

Yes there have been and still are many scams in the Crypto space but that doesn't mean Cryptos are bad does it, just bad people, How many 'fiat' scams have there been and how many are still running today, In fact we are going through one of the biggest transfers of wealth right now all using Fiat currency and money laundering.

I lost U.S$220,000 from Blockfi when they went bankrupt because of the FTX bankruptcy. I only got a fraction back. Since then, I've explored other options than crypto. LOL

We all have our own choices to make, but you should never put all your eggs in one basket!

@Tom *******
Right. I was about to diversify as I had only had the investment with Blockfi for a few months, but then procrastination ruined me. LOL

I acquired DTV through dividend income. Not trading.
Todd *********
@Morris ****
what does that even mean? They don’t care about dividend income at all
Morris *****
@Todd ********
Yes they do if it’s being received through a company you own in the US.
Todd *********
@Morris ****
so you received the DTV based on your business. They really could care less how it derives income.

@Todd ********
Oh wow I didn't know that. Thank you so very much Todd.

I guess they do the soft power too so I mean if you have 2 million in Bitcoin I would approve you. From what I've seen most people are having to show bank statements with us cash or similar even people that have stock accounts where the minimum amount of 12 or 13,000 needed. some want to see it for six months in account and then buy it back in. some want to see it for six months, a lot of people were able to just transfer out those stocks overnight into an account and then buy it back after approval

this is true but most people are day trading solana alts.
