Hi, I will be applying for my soft powers this weekend from London embassy. I’ve seen that they sometimes ask for proof of income even on the soft powers option. Can I attach the sale memo from my house sale that states the amount I will be receiving as proof of income as this is how I will be funding my traveling? Thanks in advance!
Answer summary
The post discusses the applicant's intention to apply for a Soft Power visa from the Thai embassy in London while expressing concerns about proving financial stability and income, specifically using funds from a house sale. They inquire whether the sale memo can serve as sufficient proof of income. The comments reveal that although the primary requirement is holding 500,000 THB in a personal account, additional documentation from the house sale may be recommended to clarify the source of funds.

For the Soft Power category, one of the core requirements is still proof of financial stability showing at least 500,000 THB (or the equivalent in another currency) held in a personal bank account.

If the funds came from the sale of your house, it is generally a good idea to include official supporting documents alongside your bank statement to show the source of the funds. For example, you could provide the sale agreement, completion statement, sale memorandum, or any other official documents confirming the transaction.

This helps explain large incoming deposits and demonstrates that the funds were obtained legitimately. As long as the required balance is reflected in your personal account, providing evidence of where the money came from can strengthen your application.

I understand what you're saying and I have the same concern. On the application form there is a section to declare employment status and income. What if you say 'self employed, zero income'? Will they hold it against you, even if it's DTV2 soft power and you're OK with the 500k?

My agent tells me it's not a worry, and for soft power they concentrate on the lump sum, your reason for applying, type of course membership etc. But it's only an agent's opinion so I can't be 100% sure.

If I hear anything more reliable I'll post again.

I'm not sure if that will suffice on it's own as you could also have a sizable mortgage to clear, not that I'm saying you do.

Anonymous participant That is fine to show how you will support yourself. 500k only needs to be seasoned for 10 days via London. When are you receiving the funds from your sale?
