Hi everyone 👋

I’m currently preparing my DTV application (still deciding between the Workation route or the Muay Thai / Soft Power route) and I had a few questions for people who have already been approved:

• Can the 500k THB financial requirement be shown through a business bank account if it’s a company fully owned by me, or does it strictly need to be under a personal bank account in my own name?

• Is the “3-month seasoning” of funds actually a consistent requirement across most embassies, or have people successfully applied with funds transferred more recently (with proper source-of-funds explanation)?

• Which embassies/consulates have generally been more flexible or founder/freelancer-friendly in your experience?

For context: I run my own remote online business, so most of my funds are held in my company account rather than in a traditional personal savings account. The company is fully owned and operated by me, but naturally the bank account is under the company name rather than my personal name.

Would really appreciate hearing any real experiences, especially from founders, freelancers, creators, or people applying with company-owned funds 🙏
Answer summary
The discussion centers around the DTV visa application process for Thailand, specifically addressing the 500k THB financial requirement. Users are debating whether funds must be shown under a personal account rather than a company account and if the '3-month seasoning' of those funds is strictly enforced. Experiences vary by embassy, with some recommending Hanoi or HCMC as potential options. Participants are sharing advice on application strategies and connecting those interested with advisory services for better preparation.

What's to decide? If you will work remotely from Thailand then the only legal way to do so is with a DTV based on Workation. If you apply using Soft Power then you can't legally work

I gotta disagree on this. The method is what qualifies you for the visa but the visa is the visa. You get a visa that is just type DTV. You come in and they stamp you with DTV.
