Hi everyone! I want to apply for the DTV visa, but I have a question about the 500k THB requirement.

Currently I am listed as a manager of a bank account in my dads name, with an official letter from my bank stating that I myself have direct access to all funds (which surpasses above 500k THB). 

The funds have been on the account for a period longer than 6 months, but the problem is that the bank can only put my dads name in the bank statement, but I have the letter I mentioned previously attached (again, showing I have direct and full access to all the funds in the account). 

Would this be sufficient when applying for the DTV visa?

Answer summary

The user is inquiring about applying for a DTV visa while listed as a manager on a bank account under their father's name. They have access to over 500k THB and have a bank letter confirming this, but the account statements show only their father's name. Comments suggest that a sponsorship letter from the father may suffice, but there are concerns about needing the applicant's name on the account to avoid rejection. Opinions vary on the duration for which financial statements are required.

What I know statement need to have you name as account owner or your application will be rejected, the time you need to deliver statements from have changed since I got my DTV visa some say 3 months some say 6 months, when I applied just after DTV was released it was 1 day, the day I applied for DVT

You either can support yourself or someone must support you. As a worstation you are expected to have a business that is profitable and thus can sponsor your application. A business has money throughout the year and not just the last few month. They want to see CONTINOUS INCOME 6 month of paystubs a business account and a balance over 500k at the end of the last billing cycle of your bank statements in your personal account .If you dont have the financials in line take the soft route as a student where a sponsor is expected. The moment you start asking yourself if you qualify or deviate from these 2 scenarios the moment the embassy will ask you to provide more documents to justify your story. STAY SIMPLE and straight to the point and you will ge this visa . Hope this helps 🙏

Thanks, that is good to know! I was mainly thinking of doing the workation route because I am contracted to a client that allows me to work remotely, and I have a sole propriership in my country. I guess at the moment I wouldn't be able to show 6 months of pay slips, as I've only been contracted for 3 months

Anonymous participant check my application . I recently applied at Hanoi. You can wait a bit to have all the documents . Apply only when you are ready. You might get lucky and 3 month might be enough. But if you want to take the business owner route i will wait for the 6 month paystubs. Hope this helps

I believe you just need a sponsor letter from your father, not necessarily access to the account.

and the sponsor letter will undoubtedly be needed in addition to having access to the account. Not his account, not his money

Yes for sure, he needs the sponsor letter from his father. Access to the bank account of the sponsor is not a requirement so that letter from the bank he has can't hurt his application but won't be enough either.

The following is a copy of the financial requirements for DTV:

4. Financial evidence: amount of no less than 500,000 THB OR equivalent amount in foreign currency e.g. bank statements OR sponsorship letter covering living expenses.

That is good to know! I find conflicting sources everywhere, with some saying sponsorship letters are okay for the main applicant, while some are saying it's only for dependants. I assume this would be embassy dependant?
