ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi all, 

This group is very helpful! 

Maybe some of you can help my last doubts. I have all required documents. 

Been working here under a non visa b and work permit since May 2023. Now since almost 2 months on tourist visa after I resigned. 

I work remote for a company in the US and want to fly to HCM upcoming week to try to get the DTV. 

1 Would it be an issue showing the 500.000 on my Thai bank? Or should I transfer to a foreigner account? Or a platform like wise? Both would be with a low to none activity history compared to My Thai bank which is a lot healthier.

2 do you see any issues with the fact I’m already in thailand for 1.5 year with a work permit 

Thank you in advance

TLDR : Answer Summary

An expat seeking a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) after working in Thailand under a Non-B visa for 1.5 years and recently switching to a tourist visa asks about the implications of showing a healthy Thai bank account versus a foreign account with low activity for the visa application. Community responses indicate that a Thai bank account should suffice, but there are concerns regarding potential issues due to previous work history in Thailand.

I inquired an agent who can deal with DTV visa, they said if you have ever worked in Thailand within a year, they would refuse me. So might be a little risky.
