Will my DTV application be rejected if I can't show income from my new job before my arrival in Thailand?
Hi, I have a question. I’m planning to apply for a DTV for remote work at the Thai Embassy in London at the end of this month.
I have the equivalent of THB 500,000 in savings, and I’ve been employed full-time for the past three years. I can provide P60s and payslips as evidence.
My concern is that I’m planning to fly to Bangkok on 1 September, but my new remote job will not start until mid-September. Could my DTV application be rejected because I cannot yet show income from the new job in my bank account?
The company I'm working remote for, which is UK-based, can provide my employment contract and a letter confirming the remote-working arrangement. Would this be sufficient?
Any thoughts or feedback would be appreciated. Thanks

Suggestions from the community include providing a letter explaining the early arrival and that previous experiences suggest proof of a longstanding job might be preferable.

I don't think it's a good idea, most of embassies wanna check you've been doing that job for several months and they often rejected folks who started working online for less than a couple of months at the time of application

You could add a letter saying you are going out a few weeks early to get settled before starting your new contract

When I looked at applying in London, they told me it was ok to apply without paying from a new contract. but that was back in the early DTV days , Nov 2024. You can email them to see if it is still ok.
