ORIGINAL POSTER
Hi - I’m looking at applying for a DTV but instead of the 500,000 THB in my personal account I will be using a financial sponsor through a family member (a parent). Has anyone here got any specific advice that I should be looking to include that might not be as obvious for when I apply that ChatGPT wouldn’t be telling me?

Also which embassy did you use if you chose this option as not all embassies accept this option (HCMC for example looks like it might be 50/50 whether or not they accept financial sponsorship for the visa)

Thanks in advance

TLDR : Answer Summary
When applying for a DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) in Thailand using a financial sponsor, such as a family member, it's crucial to check in advance with the specific embassy regarding their acceptance of this sponsorship type, as not all embassies permit it. Additionally, it's advisable to prepare documentation proving the sponsorship relationship and the financial capability of your sponsor. Be aware that some embassies may only accept employer sponsorship, so verification before application is key.

You need to check with the embassy you will apply from regarding sponsors. Some embassies only approve of employer sponsorship.
