💡 DTV Visa Tip: How to Prepare Financial Proof the Smart Way

Just want to share a quick trick from my experience helping clients apply for DTV visa.

Even though the rule allows you to combine multiple bank accounts to reach 500,000 THB balance — from my experience, putting all the funds into one single bank account gives you a much higher chance of getting approved.

Why? Because imagine you’re the officer reviewing your application online.

When they open your documents,

what do they want to see?

✅ A clear, simple statement that says

“Here’s the account, and here’s

the ending balance over 500,000 THB.”

That’s it.

No confusion, no extra matching between different accounts, and no unnecessary

questions like “where did this money come from?”

A few quick notes:

🚫 Don’t include crypto, digital assets, or e-wallet balances — they don’t count as financial proof.

💳 If you show multiple accounts, it usually takes them longer to review, and sometimes raises doubts even when you meet the requirement.

So if you want to make the process smoother keep it simple, keep it clear, and keep it in

one account.

Hope this helps someone preparing

for their DTV visa.

Good luck everyone! 🌍✨

TLDR : Answer Summary
The post offers practical advice for preparing financial proof for a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) in Thailand, emphasizing that consolidating funds into a single bank account increases the chances of application approval. It advises against using cryptocurrencies or e-wallets and suggests that keeping financial proof straightforward, with one clear statement showing the required balance, helps reduce confusion for visa officers.

But isn't it weird to me move all your money on the bank account you want to submit just before the application ? Like 1 month prior ? Is it not better in this case to show 2 accounts instead of one artificially pumped up last minute ?

Anonymous participant 267 show the merged account balance. Then merge PDFs statements of the other accounts showing where those funds came from so they can see they had been in your own name elsewhere for a longer period. Include an explanation note.

Thank you for the sharing !

I have a question, do you think it's ok to transfer +500k TBH to one account on the last day of the month, and then transfer out of the account the 2nd or 3rd (and doing this for the 3 last months) to have a report with +500kTBH ?

not wise to play games with the bank account balances.

hello, thanks for informations 🙏🏻

I have a question, (I'm currently in Thailand for travel) I would like to apply for digital nomad visa (DTV). Ok for the 500k bhat part, but if I have well understood these money should be on my personal thai bank account chai mai?

That's the point, how to open a thai bank acccount to put the 500k bhat?

As a tourist you cannot open a Thai bank account, you need a work permit or student visa

Thanks in advance 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Do you know if holding the amount in a foreign currency is acceptable? So the equivalent in EUR or GBP?

each embassy will usually round it off to a certain amount in their currency, so would we worth checking with them before you apply the exact amount they are looking for
