Me and my significant other aim to move to Thailand in a few months. We make music full time which makes around 7k a month gross, though we are considering doing a soft power (we don't officially run a registered business, very DIY). We have always shared funds from my account. Since we are self employed and share funds, what is the best course of action for obtaining a DTV for both of us?
We have the 500k baht each and make a good amount to our (my) main account, so not really a money issue - maybe just in the wrong places. Is there a monthly requirement for how much she should be making a month? What are the exact requirements for a soft power as far as income and documentation? Should we apply in the USA beforehand or try from Vietnam like many have suggested?
I'm mainly just looking for overall advice to our unique situation, and a general best course of action. Any advice is appreciated.
TLDR : Answer Summary
A couple planning to move to Thailand as self-employed musicians seeks advice on obtaining a DTV visa. They have sufficient funds but are uncertain about income requirements, documentation for a soft power program, and whether to apply from the USA or Vietnam. Responses suggest applying from the USA for better scrutiny familiarity, highlight that earning income from music in Thailand on a DTV is not allowed, and emphasize the importance of providing accurate financial documentation.
