Will a combination of remote work and rental income strengthen my DTV application for Thailand?

DTV Visa Visa Application Remote Work Rental Income Embassy Requirements Financial Documentation

ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi everyone,

I'm preparing to apply for the DTV (Destination Thailand Visa) and would appreciate your input.

I currently work remotely for a company based outside of Thailand, earning around $1,000 USD/month.

In addition, I receive $2,000 USD/month from renting out a property in my home country.

Both sources are well-documented — I have a work contract, bank statements, and a rental agreement.

I also meet the required bank balance of 500,000 THB.

👉 My question is:

Will this combination of income (remote work + rental income) be viewed positively by the embassy?

Specifically, does the rental income help support or strengthen the application?

Thanks in advance for sharing your experience or any insights 🙏

Sure it does. They will see it coming into your bank account monthly, as the embassy will most likely want to see 3-6 months worth of statements. You can briefly mention it in your cover letter as an alternative income stream ready to spend to boost the Thai economy.
