My husband and I are Canadian citizens and want to apply for the DTV visa for Thailand (applying in Canada).
We only have one personal bank account which us joint between the two of us.
Are we both able to use this same bank account to show the proof of funds (THB 500,000) as per the application requirements? Will we need to then have THB 1 million?
Would a cashable GIC be accepted as proof of financial standing?
Big thanks to everyone who answered my questions and shared their experiences — your advice really helped!
For anyone curious about the process:
I submitted my documents on August 20, and on August 21 they asked me to provide recommendation letters and my portfolio. I sent everything in, and just 15 minutes later I got an invitation for an interview scheduled on August 27.
The interview itself lasted maybe five minutes and had a super relaxed, friendly vibe more like chatting with a friend. They only asked me to show proof of funds at the bank and my portfolio on my phone.
Just two hours after the interview, I got the notification that my visa had been approved. The whole process took exactly 7 days from submission to final approval.
Once again, huge thanks to everyone for your help and support! 🙌
I would love to get some info from recent DTV applicants to the UK embassy. I'm most interested in the financial requirements. Some posts in this group are only weeks apart but they seem to suggest different rules were applied. Anyone have a definitive answer?
Knowing your expertise, I’d really appreciate your advice on my situation, best practices, and any feedback you can share.
I want to apply for a DTV Workation Visa.
I’m Spanish and I own a US LLC (Solo owner) where I build sales systems for coaching/courses businesses on social media , operrating only on the Spain market.
Here’s my financial setup:
* I don’t pay myself a salary. No payslips.
* I mainly use the LLC account for bigger expenses (rent, big bills, etc.) and only transfer small amounts occasionally to my personal account for daily expenses.
* Currently, the LLC account has around €4.5k liquid cash available And regular transfers and payments from clients.
* In my personal account, I just added THB 560,000 as proof of funds, i have regular daily expenses there that i can show in my statement for 6 months.
* The LLC receives €4–7k monthly, all of which I can prove with invoices issued to clients.
* At the end of each month, the LLC balance is usually around €1–2k because I reinvest most of the income.
* I am the sole owner of the US LLC, but I’m Spanish.
👉 Do you have any recommendations to increase the chances of approval? For the financial side i plan to show my personal account with the ending balance of 560k THB + My Biz account with regular transactions and income + Client bills proof.
👉 For those who submit client contracts, do you also translate them? If so, how?
👉 I won’t apply in Spain as have slow bureaucracy, but in Asia (Jakarta / Manila / …).
Hello all. Regarding the Destination visa. I can have the financial statements they ask for but only at the beginning. I can't keep the amount constant.
Will they ask me to show them my account for every extension?
Got my visa approved via Sydney embassy while in Aus (I’m Australia) after being on multiple tourist/education visas over the past few years. I applied for workcation, with a combination of employment in my father’s company and my own business/freelance work. I only transferred the proof of funds money in a couple days before application, but I submitted two letters from my father saying he would sponsor me (1 as my part-time employer and 1 as my father so both grounds were covered based on info I found via searching this group). Just wanted to share this here bc this group helped SO MUCH. Turn around was about 1-2 weeks. 🤯😍🌻🎉 Thank you so much to everyone who supplied info in here, and sending much love to those struggling with their apps (I was SO anxious when/about applying so I really feel for those getting knocked back/feeling understandably confused etc ❤️🙏).
I was in Thailand March 2025 for 10 days, then again May 2025 for 90 days, I had extension on Tourist visa. I am going back in September, flights booked for 55days
*update* My bank has opened the account for me and I can freely transfer the funds in and out online. I will transfer the funds once Ive entered Thailand in a few days. Thank you for everyone's input.
Hello fellow DTV holders,
I am a Canadian currently in Canada visiting back home. My bank has informed me that I can place my funds in a high interest savings account where I can get a 4 or 5% interest rate. This account will be accessible online and I can transfer funds immediately to my regular checking and saving accounts in the event I need the funds right away. However I do not have access to this account with my debit card.
Question, if I transfer my funds to the high interest savings account will Thai immigration accept this like my regular account in the event I am asked to show proof of funds?
For obvious reasons getting a 4-5% rate on my 500,000 baht equivalent would be preferable but what I want is not what Thai immigration wants and fairly so.
