I’m taking an extended career break. Does putting unemployed affect approval chances? I meet the financial reqs for soft power a few dozen times over.

Has anyone submitted bank documents using a JOINT BANK account? Is it ok to submit a joint account statement?

Quick question. I’m flying to Jakarta to apply in person tomorrow before it closes. Do I need to have the 500k baht in one account? Or can most be in my personal and some be in my business account? I have bank statements for both.

Hi friends !

We are a family that travels from Thailand to Vietnam to do the visa

Do we have to show 500k per head in the bank checking account or is it enough to have it at savings plan?

Based on the requirement of a bank savings balance of at least 500,000THB (or equivalent) from the last two months' statements, does anyone know the exact exchange rate for this amount in SGD?

My consolidated bank statements from the past two months show only a total of 19,100SGD. At today's exchange rate, it would amount to only 497000THB. I have additional savings in another account that would bring the total to 500,000THB. However, if I transfer the balance internally within this week, it won't reflect on my statements until the end of the month. Since I plan to submit my DTV Workcation Visa application within this week, would the 19,100 SGD from the past two months' statement be acceptable? Can anyone advise, thank you!

At Vientiane embassy they are asking for Guarantor in Thailand despite what some people here said you didn't need. The people at the door asked many people to fill that section. They said just write some friend in Thailand.

Hello, I want to apply for a DTV visa in Vietnam (uk passport) as a freelancer and have the funds in my account. I however have started my freelancing quite recently and therefore don’t have any proof of income yet (I have a portfolio, website, social media presence etc). If I have the 500,000 baht in my account will that be a problem?

Also, does the 500,000 baht need to be in my account for a certain amount of time? - I recently got an early inheritance so it’s only been in my account for a short time.

Can a web design freelancer successfully obtain a DTV visa if they have a web portfolio but no clients (as of yet). I'm a web developer who'd like to switch to web design freelancing once I reach Thailand. However, I don't have any clients yet; just my freelancing website and two spec sites I've created (which look quite professional, if I do say so myself). If I apply and include screenshots of my three websites in a PDF when applying for a DTV, what are the chances I'll be approved without a first client? I should add that I can more than meet the financial requirements. Thanks.

My 1 year on non-O visa is coming up in January.. Every month I got in the 65,000฿ (so I can withdraw the 800,000 after a year). Monthly it was in on the same day or next, one time it was 4 days off. And a couple of times it was in pieces (the 65,000 was divided up - like 30,000, 10,000 and 25,000 all coming in at once) because otherwise Wise wouldn't get it in time. Hoping this might work out somehow, or am I screwed up on this technicality... maybe dependent on the agent?
