Is a UK ISA statement suitable as proof of ฿500k for DTV in HCMC? Half and half?

Hi everyone! I would have a question.. Are there some people who received the DTV VISA without the savings on a bank account? I have enough savings but not on a bank account... Would appreciate every answer. Thx in advance. :)

Hi guy's.

I'm 46, unemployed as I don't need to work anymore.

I want to apply for the DTV visa.

I have a Thai bank account with the 500k.

I have the letter from the Muay Thai school for 1 yr that I attend every day.

I have a 1 yr rental contract for my apartment.

I've seen from lots of different people's post's that they asK for proof of employment etc.

I obviously can't provide that as I'm retired.

Has anyone else applied in my situation?

Thank you for any feedback.

Hi all I gonna be honest here:

My son and I are looking at the DTV for next August to go from UK. We will have the funds there but wanna ask few questions.

1. Is the funds (500,000baht) per person I be applying for myself and a dependent my son.

2. Can accommodation proof be the lease of a villa as we thinking get a base and then leave every 180 days for 30 days (we come back uk annually anyway) but thinking be nice have a place we not having to lug all our luggage all time as 30 days we could go via carry on easy.

3. Is it best to have the 3 months of bills payments on top the main funds or just have the main proof of funds.

I do content creation online so am self employed and will just submit my tax return or can I just send a portfolio of what I do charge etc.

Hi everyone,

As many of us who have lived in Thailand for a number of years know, immigration rules can shift without much warning. I wanted to hear your thoughts on the new DTV visa, particularly regarding future enforcement.

How long do you think it will be before immigration officers at airports or land borders start requesting more detailed proof from DTV visa holders—such as:

– Proof of ongoing funds (e.g., showing that the 500,000 THB minimum is still available)

– Evidence that remote workers are still actively working for the company they listed on their application

– For those who applied through the Soft Power route, confirmation that they are actually attending classes or programs (e.g., signed attendance or progress reports)

Do you think this type of enforcement is likely in the near future, or will things stay relatively hands-off?

My DTV workcation was approved today after submitting on the morning of the 4th of April before the HCMC consulate opened.

Knowing there was 3 days of holidays meaning the consulate was going to be closed (the following Monday + the next Monday + Tuesday for Songkran).

I didn't expect to get my visa until maybe the 18th.

Was asked for additional documents on the 8th (payslips/statement with deposits highlighted + portfolio).

Status change to pending approval on the 9th.

Received my approval email at 6:20pm today the 16th.

Notes about my application.

I used a Wise account statement to show my funds and to show my pay from my company. I was mildly concerned with using Wise as the bank, but having read everyone else's experience with Vietnam and HCMC I felt that it was fine.

I had only moved my funds into the Wise account a few days beforehand as well. No seasoning at all. Though my statement displayed ample activity of transactions from the last six months.

My portfolio was quite long at 27 pages and to fit it under the 3mb upload limit, the images were compressed heavily. I was worried that would be a demerit in my application so I included in my cover letter for the portfolio a web link to an uncompressed version of the PDF.

Not sure whether that helped or not.

Does anyone know if a joint account can be used as proof of funds for the DTV?

I’ve had ฿800,000 in my Thai bank for a couple years for my Non-O and wondering if it’s possible to switch to ฿65,000 a month without needing to do the monthly deposits for a year to maintain my Non-O? Chance somewhere between slim to none?

Anyone had any issues coming back in on soft power? Proof of fund checks etc?

Or is it just a straight stamp… non anon accounts only 🤣

Non O immigrant visa to 12 month extension "marriage Visa".

The 400.000 baht need to be from overseas, i get that. But my question is i did 4 transfers with Revolut. 2 smaller transfers show very clearly "international transfer from Revolut) The other 2 have zero description and only show "transfer with Bahtnet".

Somebody have more experience with this?

I dont want to have issues in 60 days when i apply for my first 12 month extension...

Or maybe it's better to go to immigration now to ask if this is going to be accepted in 2 months?
