TLDR : Answer Summary

The DTV visa, or Destination Thailand Visa, requires a financial minimum of 500,000 baht or its equivalent in a bank account under your name. It offers two main options: one for remote workers, allowing you to work for foreign companies or clients, and another for those interested in cultural experiences, such as signing up for courses in Muay Thai, Thai cooking, or attending medical appointments. For more specific details, it's advisable to consult the website of the Thai embassy where you intend to apply.

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

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.
