ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
An American expat is inquiring about the possibility of applying for a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) in Thailand without having the required 500,000 baht in savings. They mention their stable remote job with a salary seven times higher than the minimum amount needed. Responses indicate that the 500,000 baht requirement is strict and non-negotiable, regardless of income. Although the letter of employment may suffice in some cases, it seems verification practices vary. Suggestions also include alternative visas like the Elite Visa or Ed Visa for individuals in similar situations.
