TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around whether individuals can obtain Thailand's Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) without a traditional income, specifically if they are living off savings and cryptocurrency. Several commenters clarify that investment income, including profits from crypto and interest from savings, counts as income for the visa application. They mention that applicants need to demonstrate a valid income source, whether regular or through drawn savings, to qualify. The mention of 'soft power' reasons for the visa, such as medical treatment, also arises in the conversation.

In my opinion, it's not a regular monthly income, hence the question. #softpower #medicaltreatment

How do you get this far in life with sayings and crypto? When you sell your crypto for a profit then that is income. Also your savings should be in a money market account earning you interest which is also income. 🤦🏻‍♂️

What the other posters said. Whatever your monthly draw is, that’s your income.

Investment income is income. You can find posts on the main DTV group on FB where online investors, stock, crypto etc apply for the freelance option of the DTV
