Has anyone used a crypto wallet instead of bank statements for a visa app? Specifically the DTV one. Curious if it’s possible to do that… any info appreciated 🙏

TLDR : Answer Summary
The community consensus suggests that using a crypto wallet in place of bank statements for a Thai DTV visa application is likely not accepted. Users note that the application guidelines require a bank account, as cryptocurrencies do not represent hard currency and are not easily liquidated like traditional bank assets. It is recommended to check directly with the consulate for official guidance.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say NO it's not possible,

It's not hard currency and you can't pull the money out of the account like you can with a bank account

Contact the consulate you're apply at and see what they say

OR

try it, it'll either go thru or it won't

you can easily pull the money out of a crypto account nowadays, within seconds that cash can be in your bank account , even Thai crypto account to Thai bank account

Also you can spend the money on a card as you would any bank debit card

I’m sure your right about the visa though , can’t see them accepting it

You could cash it in and put it in the bank.

Not heard of anyone, and the application for any visa clearly says a bank account.

Ok, then in answer to your question, not a single report ever of anyone using a crypto account.
