Hi all, I would like to be in Thailand for three months, working remotely on a contract. I have a couple questions:
* Can you only apply for DTV within three months in advance before departure?
* Not knowing for sure if they approve my DTV (something could always go wrong I guess), I cannot yet know if I can legally stay for three months. Therefore, I cannot book a flight yet. However, I believe it is a requirement to give the flight number to apply for the visa. How does this work?
* Are investments considered valid capital? For example, if I don’t have the full 500,000 THB in my bank/savings account but can meet the amount when including my stock investments, can I submit proof of those to satisfy the requirement?
Thank you very much!
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquires about staying in Thailand for three months while working remotely, specifically about the DTV visa application timeline, flight booking requirements, and the validity of stock investments as capital. Comments suggest alternatives like a visa exemption for two months followed by a one-month extension, and clarify that investments are generally not accepted to meet the 500,000 THB requirement, which should be readily available in a personal bank account. Overall, there are easier options for short stays that may not require a DTV visa.
