DTVs, I am retired as such from employment, but have a portfolio of 10 rental properties, I run them myself, and as far as the UK is concerned it's investment income of course taxable, I can show accounts for many years if needed..income gross 60k net @ 45k, will that be covered under freelance, anybody any the wiser, cheers in advance

How much income are people showing as freelancers or digital nomads in order to get approved? I can show 60k/month.

Hi, just for clarification.

To the ones already holding a DTV.

A ) Can the 500.000 be in a savings account?

As in, can I show two separate accounts for both- the last six months freelance income and the 500.000 baht deposited somewhere?

Both are in my name.

Or, B ) Does it all need to be the same account?

C ) Has anyone successfully listed a sponsor, or would you not recommend this?

Thank you 🙏

Hi all,

My wife and I are planning to base ourselves in Thailand for the next 2–3 years and (fingers crossed) start our family there. I’m a remote employee for a U.S. company and my wife freelances. A few questions on the DTV process:

1) For the 500,000 THB financial requirement, will bank statements from investment/brokerage accounts be accepted, or do they need to be from a cash/checking/savings account? We have sufficient funds, but one account dipped below 500k recently due to an investment.

2) I’ve seen people mention an employer letter confirming permission to work remotely from Thailand. Is this actually required, and what wording do they expect?

3) I’ve also read that some consulates ask for recent payslips. My wife’s income varies as a freelancer. Because of Trump's shenanigans, lots of business (her clients) put a pause the last six months so he income has been very low to 0. Things are finally kicking in back into gear and she is signing up a few clients, but they won't likely start right before we apply for the DTV visa. Would this be a problem for her application even though we cover the minimum $ requirement? Would you recommend to have her as a dependent, rather than apply for her separate visa?

4) If we apply for her as a dependent, does that mean I have to first get my DTV visa approved and then apply for her as a dependent? Is there a way to do it simulatenously?

Is having cash on Trade Republic accepted as proof? I regularly transfer freelance money from my Wise business account to TR. I have around 800K THB there laying around in cash (not invested). Also could proof around 130K EUR invested on that account.

Should I provide all info for DTV? Or is Trade Republic not accepted although they do have a bank license but the statements are in German

Hi everyone!

I’m currently preparing to apply for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV).

As a freelancer, I don’t have a formal work contract, but I do have proof of income, a detailed portfolio, and client communications.

I’m wondering — based on the official requirements — is submitting a portfolio and proof of freelance income considered sufficient for this visa?

Has anyone with a similar freelance background successfully applied?

Appreciate any insights or shared experiences — thank you!

I am planning to apply DTV （ freelance.） ☺

Does freelance 300k the income /month , is the one of condition?

🥹

500K certification from the bank account only I thought...

I would appreciate it if you give me advice. Thank you🙏

METV application from UK.

Whilst I am retired from my last job and get a small pension (Im under the state pension age), I also have a small freelance income. For this type of visa, what is the appropriate “occupation” option please? I dont want to get a retirement-related visa, just an METV. If I choose retired I am concerned in case the Embassy says get a retirement-related visa. As always, thanks in advance.

London E visa application.

This is a copy from another place regarding an application for an O-A visa in London.

I think they are asking regarding the proof of income of where it's actually coming from. Just be aware if your applying using the 65k a month method that you may have to provide some back up evidence to show your getting income every month.
