Hello, Do I personally need to transfer in and hold 500k+ baht in my bank for an amount of time before starting to apply for a DTV?
I'm a freelance programmer from UK and I have a client in AUS who pays weekly and lots of on spec jobs and is happy to provide docs to be my sponsor.
I would be prefer to be applying from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, but can happily visit Laos, Vietnam, or whatever is recommended.
Thanks
TLDR : Answer Summary
The requirement to hold 500,000+ baht in your bank account before applying for a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) in Thailand varies by the embassy you are applying from. For example, the Kuala Lumpur embassy tends to be stricter, potentially requiring the funds to be in your account for up to 6 months, while others in Southeast Asia might have more lenient requirements, possibly accepting a shorter duration.
