TLDR : Answer Summary
The Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) allows expats to live in Thailand under two main options: working remotely for companies outside of Thailand, or engaging in 'soft power' activities like joining a course (such as Muay Thai or Thai cooking). To qualify, applicants must demonstrate financial stability, typically requiring a bank balance of 500,000 baht or its equivalent. For detailed requirements, prospective applicants should refer to the official website of the Thai embassy pertinent to their location.

So look at Google while the rest of us try to find out about personal experiences, that might have been how you did it, but maybe there was a better way, like finding out the pitfalls and experiences from others. Enjoy your Google

@Ian *****
the most interesting thing is this page you set up for advice?

it's not my page, but some of us, or probably most of us are better able to visualise what we are looking for if somebody explains it, before we confuse ourselves with e-documents, rules and regulations, it is good that there are people out there willing to explain it to us.

I am moving over later this year from the UK and getting these things sorted in my head is helping me to plan.

Have a good day all, and thanks for the info x

Start by reading any Thai Embassy website, about which visa’s are available.

I half expected one of these comments aim to insult the person asking that is sad of me to say 😔

Destination Thailand Visa.

Financial requirement is 500,000 baht or equivalent in a bank in your name.

Option 1 is remote worker - meaning you work for a company or clients outside of Thailand.

Option 2 is soft power where you sign up for a course like Muay Thai or Thai cooking or medical appointments.

For specific requirements you’d need to check out the website of the embassy where you’d apply.
