Can I use a loan and a family gift to meet the 500,000 THB requirement for the Thai DTV visa?
DTV – can the 500,000 THB come from a loan + family gift?
Part of my funds would be a private loan from a friend (no fixed repayment date) and the rest a gift from my parent.
Has anyone applied this way?

Answer summary
The requirement for the Thai DTV visa stipulates that applicants must show 500,000 THB in their bank account. Many users in the comments suggest that the source of the funds does not matter as long as the money is in the applicant's account for 3-6 months before applying. It is advised to avoid large deposits shortly before application, as it may raise concerns. Loans and gifts can be used as long as the funds are properly seasoned and documented if needed.

So you cannot come up with the money by yourself? Thailand welcomes you 😃

As long as they are in your account and you can give a reasonable reason how you got it then they dont care.
Can say upfront inherritment if you want. They have no way of checking that.

Unless you are applying for workcation, assuming you are allowed to work remotely in Thailand for a foreign company, (you will need a letter from the company proving they approve your remote working in Thailand, and evidence of salary) don’t bother to apply. Obviously you don’t have funds to support yourself once you get to Thailand. You can’t get a job in Thailand with DTV. You can come unstuck very quickly.

Yes, can come from anywhere just make sure you keep it in your bank account for at least 3 months before you apply for the visa. Immigration might ask you also to show proof of funds each time you enter Thailand.

So how do you live once you get to Thailand?

go fund me 😃

As long as it’s on your account, it doesn’t matter. What could matter is how you would explain how to sustain your life.

Maybe a better question is how are you planning to live (and spend ) here ? The wrong answer is I will get a job afterwards.

You haven’t got funds but you want to live in Thailand??

It’s gotta show in your account for 3-6 months (do 6 to be safe).
Also it could be a red flag seeing a big lump sum go in all at once rather than overtime. (Overtime communicates self sufficiency/ potential to find ways to make & safe money adding to the economy instead just taking up space)

As long as it’s not just few days ago you magically have 500k baht.. to be safe, season it. They don’t ask where it’s from.

No one will ask for the source of these funds as long as you season them for the required period (1-6 months depending on the Embassy)

ScenicPersimmon2836 some embassies do, but not many. So depends on embassy and if you can give a good reason they will never ask for proof

There's zero requirement on how the funds were sourced.

SageCaterpillar5223 finding a post by you an hour ago, showing the funding requirement of 500K seasoned in a bank account in your name is completely different from salary/income payslips as shown in your bank statement etc
Wannikea *********
SageCaterpillar5223 who is they and what did they do? Your reply doesn't state any facts.
Ashley *****
Be sure it’s there for 3-6 months beforehand
Jordi *******
