Regarding DTV visa for Digital Nomad. I am currently applying and I was wondering if the bank statement is required to show a proof of income based on the employment contract provided ? This remote work contract is new and my current bank statement would not show it.

TLDR : Answer Summary
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.

I got a DTV from London Embassy. I am an employee of a company in Ireland and get paid monthly by them. I showed the 500k proof in one bank account that doesn't show my monthly wages. So I reckon you'll be fine. Have an up-to-date bank statement, not one a few months old. Employment letter needs to say Required to Work Remotely and be addressed to Thai Embassy.

thanks buddy.

The 500k requirement is regardless of your income so it doesn't matter if you started a new job

Ok. So that's an issue. Maybe a contract will be enough. Ask the embassy where you intend to apply

money is not an issue. The issue is that I do not have a proof of income for this contract yet.

You cannot be in thailand while applying for an e-visa of any type... It literally tells you on the e-visa website that you must be in the country you are applying from.

As for the information you need, you need to contact the embassy.

You can't apply for a DTV from inside Thailand. You need to travel to the country you want to apply from before starting your application

you cannot apply from here. Absolutely a bank statement is required. Apply from a evisa site external to Thailand. Each embassy has their own rules

I know that the bank statement is required. Just wondering if the bank statement needs to show the income from the company you have a contract with ?

a pay stub will work and a bank statement of at least 500k baht

Taipei insists on bank statements detailing income. Other SEA embassies less strict with that. You apply online within a country outside of Thailand. You need to upload your passport stamp of entry with hotel as part of your application.

I can not find this information. Only that a statement is required. Do you have to leave Thailand to apply online ? Or can you apply online and then leave the country to reenter ?

look on the country's website for this information.
