Tips for obtaining a Thai DTV based on crypto/stock trading income?

I’m considering applying for the DTV based on supporting myself through crypto trading. I’ve done this for the past five years.

I deposited the required funds into my bank account in April. The account has a five-year history of irregular transfers from realized trading profits, although the balance was usually low because I withdrew only what I needed for living expenses.

I’m considering submitting:

* A cover letter explaining my trading activity and source of funds;

* Exchange/broker statements showing realized trades;

* Bank statements showing the corresponding transfers;

* Evidence that the required balance has been maintained since April;

* Tax or social-security documents, if relevant.

My country does not tax crypto payouts, so I do not have income-tax returns showing this income.

Has anyone successfully obtained a DTV using crypto or stock-trading profits as financial/source-of-funds evidence?

I’d especially appreciate information about:

* Which embassy/consulate you used;

* Whether exchange or broker statements were accepted;

* Whether a cover letter helped;

* What additional documents were requested;

* Processing times and the fastest legitimate application route.

Would a financial-support letter from a parent, together with evidence of their savings, strengthen the application—or would it complicate an application based on my own finances?

Thanks!

Similar applicants have been approved and you should find their posts in the threads. Citing financial support from parents will likely complicate matters.
