The user is seeking guidance on applying for the Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) in Thailand, specifically looking for the best nearby country to apply from, income requirements as proof of remote work, the acceptability of rental income, and whether to apply personally or through an agency. Responses suggest applying from Hanoi for efficiency, clarify that proof of a minimum savings amount (500,000 THB) is often required rather than a specific monthly income, and indicate that any remote work income is acceptable as long as it's adequately documented. There is also mention that no agent is needed for the straightforward online application process.

Why not take look at the E-Visa website [url redacted]

Before you start asking questions about your swim certificate.

Exactly the same situation as me, I have just applied from hcmc I would suggest you provide every piece of proof you have eg: tax filings contracts airbnb statements if you are involved in short lets as they do tend to turn there nose up at passive passive income you need to prove you really do something other than gain rental income.

1) Hanoi seems to be quite efficient.

2) No monthly income required by law - other than proof of thr 500k THB in savings. Though some embassies sadly tend to make up their own rules.

3) The source of income is irrelevant, as long as you can establish that it is suitable for remote work - and that you can demonstrate that you are allowed and free to do this work remotely from Thailand. It would be helpful to include a portfolio of rentals on a platform or something like that.

4) No agent can help you with the DTV. It is a straigh-forward online application process.
