Hello everyone!

I recently got a new online job through my friend has his virtual assistant, I started 2 weeks ago. 

I got the agreement of service that I signed when I got hired and the requirement funds havent been in my account for years. 

Since its a new job, will I have problems with my application? I'm canadian, currently in Montreal and was planning on sending my application in 2 weeks when I have more pay deposited in my account to show.

Will that be okay? 

Thank you so much!

Answer summary

A user inquired about the implications of applying for a work visa in Thailand while having a new online job and insufficient funds in their bank account. Comments from the community indicated that having an employment contract is essential, but the amount of income may not be a determining factor. Some suggested taking a cooking course for easier visa approval, while others emphasized the need for sufficient funds (500,000 THB) and a contract before applying.

I dont know what you are asking really. If you have a contract then yes, you can apply for workcation. It seems you dont have the 500k THB in your account yet if I understand you correctly? I am confused. But you need 1) a employment contract stating you can work online 2) 500k or equivalent in your bank account. How much income you make is irrelevant, at least as of now.

Forget about the DTV visa for Workcation.

Find a soft power activity to get the DTV visa.
