How can I prove my inheritance for the DTV visa application?

Dec 1, 2025
5 months ago
I’m applying for the DTV

I already uploaded 6 months of bank statements from my savings account showing a stable balance of over £13,500 GBP (well above the 500,000 THB requirement).

This money is from an inheritance, but I’m not sure how to prove that in a way they will accept.

Questions:

1️⃣ Do I need to write a separate letter specifically explaining the inheritance, even though I mentioned it briefly in my original cover letter?

2️⃣ Do I need to show the original deposit transaction from when the inheritance was paid in, or is the 6-month stability enough?

If anyone else has used inheritance funds for their DTV proof, I’d really appreciate any advice on what you submitted and what worked.

Thank you so much!

When was the inheritance deposited? Is it from someone who passed away? If so, you should have some sort of record with the probate court.

One of my DTV clients had a similar problem in Vietnam, they wanted him to produce the person who made the money deposit in his account (his deposit was only recent). It seems to me they don't believe you have the money and don;t believe you are in Vietnam .... Make a cover letter explaining where the money is from with bank statement attached of that deposit and include any other documentation you have that can support that.

Your inheritance will have come from somewhere, get whoever paid it to you to write a letter stating the provenance. I'd also be prepared to show how you will be able to support yourself for the duration of the DTV 570k baht isn't going to keep you

Where is this DTV E–Visa application submitted at the Thai Embassy in Hanoi? or the Thai Consulate in Ho Chi Minh City?

As for Proof, Evidence of inheritance, then perhaps the wire transfer into your bank account or cancelled bank cheque from the deceased estate???
