Hi, I have some questions about the DTV. We are in our early 40s, retired early, and moved to Bangkok last month. We are planning to apply for the DTV soon. My spouse is a certified science teacher from the USA and just started tutoring on the Preply website. Since she is fairly new to the platform, there isn’t much income coming in yet; we assume it will be around $500 monthly. Our main source of income is from dividends, which total around $3,000 monthly. Will this be okay for a DTV application? Or does she need a more stable remote job with higher income?

I am going to have a lump sum in the UK that I need to invest. Does anyone in the UK have advice? I understand a little about the double tax treaty but not enough. I will maintain a UK bank account plus a wise account and maybe keep premium bonds.
