Is there a way to avoid the 15k bank balance requirement for a DTV visa to live and teach in Thailand?

Question

I’m sure it’s been asked before but I’m not sure what keywords to type in to look for it. With this said, I’d like to know if there’s a way around having 15k in my bank account to get my DTV. My wife and I plan to move to Thailand mid April and live for a few years to teach at schools in rural area. Please let me know what to do

The user inquires about bypassing the 15,000 THB bank account requirement for a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) to live and teach in Thailand. However, multiple comments clarify that the DTV is not suitable for those looking to work, as it does not permit employment. Instead, they recommend obtaining a Non-B visa and a work permit to legally teach in the country. The conversation stresses the importance of researching visa options and complying with legal requirements.

Go back to school to learn. No wonder anonymous out of embarrassment

Hahahaha you cannot teach at schools on DTV. You need a different visa.

Do some research first, please!

Thank you to those who have been helpful. I am still learning as I go and I’m not trying to do anything illegally. I saw on another social platform that there were other ways around this but I did not know it was illegal. I’m also still learning which permit would best fit me.

Find the jobs first, then apply for the correct visas.

The DTV is not the visa for you in this situation. You need a different visa and a work permit.

Get a work visa you muppet. Btw, with your lack of ability to research even the basics, I am not sure you should be teaching.

Bob ********** · Answer

Yes there’s a way around the 500k don’t apply as you cannot work in Thailand on a DTV

Luit ***************** · Answer

The 500K THB is a hard requirement, but since you want to work in Thailand it is not important for you, because DTV is not the visa you need

Greg ****** · Answer

As mentioned, you cannot work in Thailand on a DTV visa. To teach, you must obtain a work permit and a Non-B visa.

Raed **** · Answer

so you want DTV to work in Thailand !! no wander the requirements getting harder and harder in the embassies

Greg ******** · Answer

You cannot teach in Thailand on the DTV. You need a B visa and Work Permit.
