ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The DTV visa (soft power) allows for applicants to be unemployed, and having a substantial amount of savings over 500,000 THB is generally considered sufficient. However, there may be a requirement to demonstrate a plan for financial support during the visa's duration. Applicants should be prepared to provide access to their bank account during an interview at the embassy in Laos, as this is a common verification method.
