Will I need to show the 500,000 baht bank balance again when extending my DTV Workation visa in Thailand?
Hello, I am planning to apply for a DTV Workation visa from Belgium, and one of the requirements is to have 500,000 baht in a bank account for at least one month.
My question is: when I go to extend my visa for 180 days, will the immigration authorities require me to show that 500,000 baht in my bank account again? Or will the income from my freelance business count just as well?

Answer summary
The user is inquiring whether the Thai immigration authorities will require them to again demonstrate a 500,000 baht bank balance when extending their DTV Workation visa after already proving it for the initial application. Comments suggest that there should not be a problem with this; in most cases, immigration does not check bank balances again if you've previously fulfilled the requirement. Additionally, income from freelance work might also be considered.

No, they won't care after you tell them the truth. And getting asked that particular question is rare, either way.

If you have a DTV you shouldn’t need any of this as it looks like you don’t max it out you stay for short periods the IO’s like that

Well just be honest. If you have only booked that, explain you dont know where youll be staying next as of right now, either because you dont know your full plans yet or because you are looking to base in other property.

PeacefulNectarine6632 I get your concern though. But also keep in mind that most of these people posting ‘situations’ they go through, we may not know their use/profile/background when in reality, 95% of the people going through immigration, have no trouble at all.
