The discussion revolves around whether U.S. veterans can utilize their VA disability compensation as a source of income for applying for a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) in Thailand. Participants share experiences regarding income requirements, with some mentioning that a Non-O visa could be a suitable option if the veteran's monthly income exceeds 65,000 THB and if they are over 50 years old. They note varied success depending on the embassy, with some embassies requiring a certain amount in the bank while others have more lenient policies. It's highlighted that VA disability compensation is exempt from taxation in Thailand under the Double Taxation Agreement.
