What type of bank account statements should self-employed individuals provide for a DTV Workcation application in Thailand?

Question

**Question for self-employed folks who’ve been approved  proof of income** question 🙋

Did you show your personal or business bank account? My business makes $30k to $50k/month and the accounts are in my biz name, but I didn’t pay myself last month while I was in Vietnam bank restricted in vietnam.

Would business statements be enough? Thanks!

For the 500k baht requirement I do have the personal account with over $30k in it for over 6 months. And before October I was paying my self like $2k-$3k a month from this company.

Ask Thailand · Answer

Self-employed individuals applying for a DTV Workcation in Thailand should provide both personal and business bank account statements. While a personal account with over $30,000 held for 6 months suffices for the financial requirement, business bank statements are necessary to demonstrate ongoing professional activity. Applicants should also include additional documentation such as company registration, proof of their role, client contracts, and explanations for any gaps in personal salary transfers when necessary. It is important to check the specific requirements of the relevant embassy before applying.

For a DTV Workcation application it helps to separate two things: proof of funds and proof of your professional activity.

500,000 THB requirement: Your personal account with $30k+ held for 6+ months is strong evidence. Company funds shouldn’t replace personal funds, as they legally belong to the business.

Self-employment and income: Business statements support your application by showing ongoing activity, but alone they may not be enough. Add company registration, proof of your role, client contracts or invoices, and a portfolio or website.

Missed payment: One month without a transfer isn’t automatically a problem. Your earlier $2-3k transfers show an income history, so include them and briefly explain the gap (bank restrictions) in your cover letter.

Where you apply: Since 31 August you need to apply from your country of nationality or a country where you hold permanent residence, so a short stay in Vietnam won’t qualify.

Requirements vary between embassies and extra documents may be requested, so check your embassy’s official checklist before submitting.
