Can I apply for a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) in Thailand with 1 million baht but no regular income?

We have solutions for you to stay in Thailand for an extended period.

Medical/Wellness.

On the visa application, how do they verify the amount in your bank account? Are they contacting your bank? Are you showing a print out of your statements? I am in early research phase of visa application here. Thank you.

Yes...Can....

Book into the dentist to have the hygienist clean your teeth and you can stay for 5 years!

Sign up to a Muay Thai or cooking class, apply for DTV. Job done.

I did Soft Power and Train Muay Thai 3-4 times a week.

You might just end up with a 6 month METV not a DTV if you are only doing a 3-6 month course GL

You don't need an income.. they litteraly ask you how much is your income on the application and you can select $0 and Unemployed and still be eligible for DTV... how do I know? I got it this way.

You may, but uou will also need to sign up for muy thai, cooking lessons or some other soft power activity. Be prepared to do border runs every 6 months and return, or you will need to verify funds through immigration. Another option is the education visa. You can study Thai or a lot of other subjects. The educational visa requires a lot less money in the bank.

Pay me and I’ll put you as an employee in my company lol

Why arent you working?

Having 1M baht helps, but Thailand’s Digital Nomad Visa usually also requires proof of regular income or employment. Your savings alone may not be enough. Check out Landscape for more related tips.

Keep your cards close and your money closer friend. Don’t tell anyone what you’ve got. Just my advice 😆

Yes, I can help.

Softpower

Apply for a soft power DTV. Enroll in Muay Thai or Thai language course. You fit the minimum 500,000 baht savings and you don’t need to show income under the soft power category.

Soft power 500k needed. Just book a long enough course. But what will you live on when that 1 million runs out ?

Chang addict without a job .... start your application with rehab.

Yes lol.. Just get a DTV agent, super easy to find Russians to make all the paperwork for you for 15k then you pay the 11k visa fee.. They “handle the paperwork”, you just need to

Submit your bank statements and they take care of the rest.. Easy peasy.

Yes just apply via soft power.

You need to be able to show that you are employed with contracts etc. People who don’t have that but meet other requirements usually work with an agency who helps them with documents.

That’s a big yes if you can prove you can work remotely / freelance.

Having 1 million THB in your bank account alone does not automatically qualify you for the DTV visa.

For DTV (Destination Thailand Visa), the key factor is not just savings. it’s your eligibility under one of the approved categories (such as remote work for a foreign employer, digital nomad, or certain soft power activities).

In most cases, applicants must show :

1. Proof of remote employment or business outside Thailand

2. Stable income source

3. Required financial evidence (minimum funds threshold)

If you don’t have regular income or qualifying remote work, simply having savings may not be enough.

Each case depends on how you structure the application.
