TLDR : Answer Summary
The consensus among community members is that simply having an investment portfolio does not qualify for the DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) in Thailand. It appears that additional documentation like bank statements, proof of income, and evidence of active trading activities are crucial for eligibility. Users have shared experiences that suggest demonstrating a solid income (around $85K) and providing thorough financial proof can strengthen one's application. There are also recommendations to explore alternatives such as the Elite Visa.

If you can demonstrate an income of around $85k and proof you can complete work remotely you at least have a decent case but I would speak with a visa agent for more info mate

I read that someone got DTV by showing his properties and real estate contracts, screenshots of exchanges with tenants, letter of himself explaining he manage his property remotely and can do it from anywhere

You can be an investor/trader as an occupation but you still need to show your bank statements. That’s how I got mine

depends what route you’re going but no matter what you need bank statements with proof of funds.

If you’re applying as a digital nomad then you need proof your occupation - eg, trader would need proof of investments and trades.

You can take other routes though - such as a Muay Thai course

No. If you can show you are an active trader you might get somewhere but just holding investments won't qualify.

this is my plan when the time comes. Registered a sole prop just to get me started then may move to incorporate.

I doubt very much you would get a DTV based on trading Thai stocks no matter how active. By active I mean behaviour similar to day trading

Not sure if you made the effort to search, but most embassy want bank statements not investment statements
