Is a bank statement required as proof of income for the DTV visa application?

The discussion revolves around the requirements for applying for a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) in Thailand. Users emphasize that a bank statement is necessary as proof of income, despite concerns regarding new remote work contracts not yet reflected in current bank statements. Additionally, it is noted that applicants must be outside Thailand to submit their application, as it cannot be processed from within the country. Suggestions include contacting the relevant embassy for guidance on whether the employment contract could suffice in the absence of a recent bank statement.
