TLDR : Answer Summary

For freelancers or digital nomads applying for a Thai visa, while there is no strict income requirement, showing a monthly income of around $2000 USD (approximately 60,000 THB) seems to be adequate for approval. Some users suggest that having a five-figure income would be sufficient, although it is emphasized that having at least 500,000 THB (or equivalent) in a personal account is mandatory for applicants.

Showing monthly income is not a requirement but its good to proof that you earn money.

However, you do have to show that you have 500k baht( or equivalent in your currency) in a personal account.

Showing income deposits is a requirement for many embassies to get approval. Requests for pay slips, and payment of services are common as many posts show,

yes, and I said it is good to proof that money is coming in. That will definetly help the application, i agree and i too had payslips included in my financial proof document. However the OP was asking how much he should monthly earn and there is no such requirement last I checked.

correct if your bank statement shows money coming in and going out with a continued balance of 500k it's good enough
