Does anyone know if it’s accepted for the DTV visa when the required 500,000 THB are held in a business account – provided I can prove with documents (e.g. business registration, shareholder proof, accountant’s letter) that I am the 100% owner and have full access to the funds?

Or does the balance strictly need to be shown in a personal account under my name?

Answer summary

The consensus among community members is that for the DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) in Thailand, the required 500,000 THB must be held in a personal account under the applicant's name. The funds need to be accessible immediately and must have been in the account for at least six months prior to applying. While there may be exceptions as noted by one commenter regarding acceptance of alternative financial options, the general rule is to maintain the funds in a personal account.

It is you as a person, not your compagny, that applies for DTV, so it is your personal account in your name, you have to show containing 500.000 Baht.

The money need to be immediately accessible, if for instance you need to pay for hospital, before you can get treatment.

And have to have been in the account up to 6 months before applying.

When you need ask that, you will benefit by reading a lot more posts in the group before you apply, because you haven’t researched well up to now.

Each Embassy has their own way of doing things, so search embassy specific.

99% of the time just personal account with your name on but there are guys who got accepted with crypto and other financial options. I'd suggest to phone or mail the embassy you intend to apply at then ask them whatever they'd accept your business account or not.

It would help us if we know... what is your passport nation?

Where will you be applying for the DTV visa ?

How long have you been working as a Digital Nomad ?
