Hey guys 

We're gearing up to make our travels and apply for the DTV 

We have all the requirements, bank, savings etc. applying for the soft power muay Thai. We generate income online, and was curious if they accept PayPal records as a form to prove income? Thanks! 

Also, coming from America 

Does anyone use Chase? I was curious if anyone has recommendations for the safest banks to use over in Thailand? Sorry if this was answered before

They also ask for advice about American banks to use in Thailand. Responses suggest that proving income may not be necessary for the DTV application and recommend using banks like Charles Schwab for their benefits, such as no foreign transaction fees.

Don’t keep all your money in one account.

Have multiple forms of payment

In the event of banking issue, scam or lost card.

Im also using Charles Schwab and Revolut

Revolut reimburse your atm fees (if you are within plans limit) but not the fee the bank of the atm may impose. CS reimburses all fees

Revolut provides multiple cards - single virtual, virtual and a physical card.

I use single card for single online payments; virtual card (not connected to physical card) for online payments and when there’s a card machine; physical card (has virtual version) for atm withdrawals. You can also freeze your card via app so no transactions can be made until you unfreeze it

They can ask about anything, including his shoe size. But in a normal procedure it's not required. You can see requirements in the official sources and there is no income between them.

Anonymous participant They just want to see a stream of income that’s connected to somewhere not in Thailand.

Just add a cover letter stating that you get paid via PayPal and your position is not located in Thailand or associated with Thailand at all. they may ask for a contract or letter from client/employer that you can work remotely
