TLDR : Answer Summary

The DTV visa application does not qualify based solely on retirement status or passive income from investments, such as rental properties managed by others. Applicants must demonstrate active management or remote work to qualify. Passive income can support the application by showing self-sufficiency during the soft power visa process.

Take the basic DTV Qualification Test to see if you're eligible for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV).

says, (i have just applied also re property rentals) I believe you must work/manage the properties yourself and be able to demonstrate this with how you communicate with clients builders etc and show invoices, if managed by someone else your just receiving an income..

Thomas Tohnan passive income could help to show how you can support yourself if asked during a soft power application. If you manage your rental properties remotely you could use this as the basis for the workation option but if someone else does this you can't

Being retired is not a qualification for DTV, neither is "receiving income" from an investment.

You qualify through remote work, or through a soft power activity inside of Thailand.

Can I apply for a DTV visa if I'm self-employed as a web designer and manage rental properties?
