Hi everyone,

I submitted the request for DTV

I have way more than 500.000 Thb in my whole banking assets but less on my liquid bank account (part of the money is in liquid investments).

I moved on the bank account part of them in order to reach 500000 thb but I cannot change the situation for the past 2 months and I have to leave in October (already bought the flight).

Did someone experience a similar situation ?
Answer summary
A user has submitted a request for a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) but is struggling to meet the requirement of at least 500,000 THB in liquid assets in their bank account, as the funds are mostly in liquid investments. They cannot alter their bank account summary from the previous two months and have a flight scheduled for October. Other users suggested various options, including changing the flight date to allow more time for the visa processing or considering alternative visa options. There were also discussions about the visa application process and the importance of having the required funds visible in the bank account as specified by the regulations.

I had the money in my account for about 7 minutes before I printed my bank statement...

Buuuuut, I provided back statements from the account I get paid into and highlighted the weekly income, so they could see that I got paid into the other accounts.

I got approved

You cannot change the past but you can change the future, so you will have to change your flight and wait 2 more months. Or you just fly to Thailand under visa exemption, then after 2 months you return home or go to a neighboring country and apply for the visa. The visa requirements are clear so I donMt know what you were thinking🤷‍♂️. And yes, many experienced not having the funds long enough in their bank accounts so they got rejected or they just waited

If you can't change the situation for the past 2 months then your liquid investments aren't that liquid...?

I mean that I cannot modify the bank account summary for june and July Because is past. I can move the investments in 5 working days maximum and this is what I did but it will appear in august summary not the past ones. Hope is more clear

unfortunately, most likely rejected. Why would you not ask them before applying and losing the fee?

I think Italy requires 3 mths seasoning of funds, email them to double check.. If you apply there then include a letter explaining your situation .

Ok, when did you apply ? They may ask for another statement.. other embassies have done similar. Also if you put October as your departing date they will process other applications before then, so they may not reply quickly.

I did. I uploaded a pdf with a letter explaining all the situation. I am worried they reject instantly before asking more documents. I ll call the embassy today also and I wrote an email

You have 2 choices really. One is to change your flight and make sure you have ample time for visa processing. Second is to take a chance because you are special and have a special situation that warrants special consideration from consular to expedite your special application.
