Can I use my money once my DTV application is approved?
Once the DTV is approved, do I need to still keep the balance of £11,000 available until I fly or for some other period of time, or once visa is approved can I use my money?! 😵💫
Answer summary
Once the DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) is approved, applicants can generally use their funds, as the requirement to maintain the £11,000 (around 500,000 Thai Baht) is for the application process itself and not necessarily an ongoing requirement. However, there are instances where proof of funds may be requested by immigration officials, especially if applying for extensions or during reentry into Thailand. It is advised to keep the funds available for emergencies, even if not strictly required, to avoid potential issues during immigration checks.

If you are sensible, you will ensure that you keep this amount intended for emergencies available while you are in Thailand.
There is a very small chance that immigration will ask for it upon entry, but for your own peace of mind, it is the smartest thing to do.

At the immigration they might ask you for proof of funds and you will have to show the 500k in your bank account, it happened before. If you don’t have it, you might get denied entry. It all depends how lucky you are

If you want to apply in Thailand for the 180 day Extension of Stay, you need to show the money again. It is meant to be an emergency fund. But as others mention, the DTV protects you against any emergency

It's an application requirement, not an ongoing requirement (yet). Check out my comprehensive post on the page and understand your visa mate

Please show official documents that explain which of the visa requirements are application requirements and which are ongoing requirements.On the official evisa site and on embassy sites these definitions are not available, so I guess you inventend them yourselves because they better fit in your perception.

StunningPapaya3054 When I ask for an official document to support a statement of somebody I am a troll?
Maybe you should look for the definition of troll because it matches you much moore, I would even say near 100 percent.

@Chris *********
You NEVER found some official document that distinguishes between the different requirements you mention, not even a place where these definitions are mentioned, so the only conclusion is that these definitions are just personal opininions.
