DTV visa Muay Thai spousal support income verification Chiang Mai visa application Canada Hanoi

ORIGINAL POSTER

I am looking at applying for a DTV with Muay Thai (Canadian passport but considering going to Chiang Mai to scope out gyms before choosing one, and applying from Hanoi)  I have the 500k+ funds in a regular savings account.

But I'm seeing that several people are being asked to also report income. 

I only have spousal support as income (declared on my taxes to CRA,  I pay taxes on it just like a regular income) but it solely shows as a single monthly etransfer into my bank account. 

Will this cause a problem?  I couldn't find a clear answer,  so I don't know I there's a better way to word my inquiry.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The poster is considering applying for a DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) while training in Muay Thai in Chiang Mai, Thailand, using their Canadian passport. They have sufficient funds but are concerned about their spousal support income being recognized during the visa application process, particularly since it comes in as a single monthly transfer. Comments suggest that while there may be a question regarding how to support their stay, providing truthful financial evidence usually works out well for applicants.

I can't put a number on it, but not too many DTV certified gyms in Chiang Mai, applying in Canada before winging your way over very quick, communicative, uncomplicated, and easy. You can always change gyms after your first course.

IF you apply soft power Muay Thai i think you will be fine. Hanoi tend to ask the question " how will you support your stay" it seems a tricky question but usually people just explain their financial circumstances truthfully with a bit of evidence, and Hanoi just accept it.

That's what normally happens

Good luck
