TLDR : Answer Summary

Getting a DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) is relatively easy if you fulfill the necessary conditions. You must maintain a bank balance of 500,000 baht for a minimum of three months prior to your application, though some consulates may ask for a six-month period. After the visa is issued, there is no requirement to keep the funds in the account.

Applying for a DTV is quite straightforward as long as you meet the requirements. You must have 500,000 baht in your account for at least three months before applying (some consulates require six months), but the funds do not need to remain in the account after the visa has been issued.
