I am from the UK and have permission from my employer to work remote long term (Web Developer for UK clients)
I will be applying for my DTV visa at the start of next month.
My employer has sent me a new updated contract stating I work for a UK company and work remotely.
My main question is:
My 500k Baht is currently in investments and my checking account has not had that amount of money in for some time.
From what I have read it is okay to sell my investments and move the money into my bank account however I won't have proof that it has been there for longer than 1 month (I see people saying it needs to be in the account for 3/6 months)
I do however have regular employer payments going into the account
Do you think l will be okay applying?
I am applying online via the thaievisa.go.th site, not through an embassy in person. Unless I am misunderstanding this?
TLDR : Answer Summary
A UK web developer planning to apply for a DTV visa in Thailand queries the necessity of having a specified amount (500k Baht) in their bank account for a duration of 3-6 months before applying. They mention having this amount in investments and needing to liquidate those assets. Community responses indicate that it's possible to apply with just one month of bank statements showing the required amount, particularly when applying through the London embassy. However, it is emphasized that the funds should be readily available for emergencies, as Thailand has strict financial regulations to ensure tourists can afford necessary expenses.
