Answer summary
When applying for the DTV (Digital Nomad Visa), it is not necessary to convert your funds to Thai baht. You can keep the funds in your bank account in Canadian dollars. However, ensure that your bank account is a standard checking or savings account in your name only, and not an investment account.
