Who knows, depends on their mood, it remains a mystery.

Hey, I recently applied for DTV from Pakistan, and I'm also a content creator. Let's see what happens.

Income is not in the requirements, but a 500.000 Baht deposit is.

There's no minimum requirement and you can live on 1000 with a reasonable budget. However just because you meet the minimum requirements doesn't mean you will be approved, especially with workcation. Depends on the embassy, the person reviewing it, your passport... etc etc.

500.000 is probably based on a monthly income around 40.000 during one year, so anything lower than that (from my own point of view) should raise concerns from the commissioner. As said before, 30.000 baht will most likely not cover the living costs including internet, rent, travel, food and most important, health insurance.

The most important requirement is having at least THB 500,000 in your personal bank account held for 3 months before the application. This applies across all DTV application types.

While there’s no officially stated minimum income, if you’re applying under the freelancer category and your documents don’t make strong sense and income is lower at the moment, it may affect the approval chance when they question how you can support yourself in the long term.

From our experience working with some other content creators, the embassy often looks for:

1. How much money you make through YouTube or your content platform

2. What kind of content will you be creating in Thailand? e.g. filming daily life, showing low cost of living, and why Thailand is your chosen base

It’s helpful to include a cover letter explaining these two points as well as a link to your channel just to make it easy for the approving officer to view the application at a glance.

If you're open to other options, applying under the Thai Soft Power track (e.g. certified cooking school or cultural program) can be more straightforward. Your current income level wouldn’t be an issue under this route — in fact, your creator background will even help strengthen your case!

No requirements

I say this not as a negative comment, but you should really read up on the visa you are applying for then come ask any questions.

The most important is the 500k. And remember these 500k are required if you're planning to extend in Thailand. So far, not required when exiting and back but no guarantee this will continue that way. If you're counting on USD1000 to live in Thailand, that will be very difficult, not impossible but forget about living the good life; mostly in tourist areas.

There's not minimum income but anything much lower than 1000$ per month might lead to troubles...

No specific income requirement. You must have 500K THB in savings.
