What documents do I need to apply for a DTV (Workation) visa to Thailand, especially regarding income from crypto?

Question

**Hello everyone,**

I'm currently in Vietnam preparing a file for a DTV (Workation) visa application.
I currently have :
* Bank statements from my European bank showing over 500,000 THB over the past 3 months.
* Screenshots of my crypto wallet with over 3 million THB.
* A portfolio showing my income (exclusively from crypto), including an Excel sheet detailing the revenue and supporting screenshots.
* A screenshot of my Booking.com reservation in Vietnam.
* A "motivation letter" explaining why I want to go to Thailand and roughly how I'm financially independent thanks to crypto.
* A passport photo.

I plan to go in person to the Thai embassy in Hanoi to apply for the visa.

Do I need any additional documents? Is there a form I need to fill out? If so, where can I download and print it?

Do you think my application might be rejected because all my income comes from crypto?

Thanks in advance! 😊

A user is preparing to apply for a DTV (Workation) visa to Thailand and has compiled various documents, including bank statements and crypto portfolio evidence. In the comments, several users discuss the necessity of applying online—highlighting that applications are no longer accepted in person at Thai embassies. They also address concerns about the source of income, particularly from crypto, mentioning that proof of income might be required for the Workation visa despite some stating that having a sufficient amount in savings is what ultimately matters. The consensus emphasizes the need for additional proof of location and possibly switching to a soft power visa application if income from trading is not accepted.

You need to apply online.

The crypto activity may not be good enough for workstation, you can try .. but you will probably need to do softpower.

You need to apply on the thaievisa website, everything is online.

I make money through investments and instead I applied and was approved through soft power option. Sometimes they don’t accept investments as income for workcation. You can try but might be rejected and lose the application fee. You’ll definitely need more documents for your proof of location.

they won’t count anything crypto/stock/market related as income. it has to be a foreign company.

i signed up for a online thai soft power course valid for 5 years. 35k baht.

There's a risk applying as a trader in the region, I think. If you had a business registration and applied in London for example, that would be another story.

Why don't you submit a soft power application instead?

You'll need a lot more proof of location than a hotel booking, like a visa, entry stamp, dated picture of a receipt from a local business etc.
