Hi. I'm planning to apply DTV as a remote worker. Which embassy do you recommend in Asia and how many months should 500K baht in my bank account for?
Answer summary
The conversation revolves around applying for a DTV visa as a remote worker, with participants discussing which embassy in Asia might be the best choice (Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City) and the necessary bank funds. Generally, it's recommended to show that the required 500,000 baht has been in the bank for at least 3 to 6 months, depending on the embassy. Various comments highlight that while 3 months might be the minimum, 6 months is ideal to ensure approval and avoid complications.

It doesn't have to be in the same bank for 3 months but you have to show that you've had it for at least 3 months.

3-6 months is ideal. Less than 3 is a risk.

3 months. Hanoi or HCM, apparently.

Vietnam approves with funds under 3mths as many posts confirm.

3 & 6months are both still suitable, but for sure better suggest submit 6months voluntarily from the beginning, so in order to save approving time and more request on additional docs. 😉
