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?

I have a question about the financial edvendence THB 500,000, is it only request when you apply DTV for one time or I should keep in the bank every year ? And the employee contract must mark working location or "remote" ?

Hi guys. I'm from the UK.

I work online as a free-lancer and self-employed.

I have contracts with my clients and a dedicated social media page for my work. I can also meet the financial requirements.

Will I be required to show tax and business registration documents as part of my application?

Thanks :)

Hi All,

Has anyone from UK succesfully applied for the DTV at the embassy?

If so, what proof was required for the proof of funds in the account? Thinking of possibly lending the 500,000 and putting in my account for the application until it is successful. (I have a remote job with regular income so will afford to live but just dont have that amount of savings just sitting there)

Thanks in advance

Hello,

I am currently on an METV visa that ends mid January and I would like to switch to a DTV and I have some questions to which I couldn’t find specific answers (sorry If I overlooked existing answers)

1- I was thinking of trying to get a DTV visa before my METV visa ends - does this impact the acceptance of the visa?

2- can I go to a neighboring country make the application and come back to Bkk with my METV visa before getting the DTV? Or I need to stay there and wait to get it?

3- for the 500k baht, should I get proof of having them in my current account or does it work if it’s in the savings part of the account?

4- do you know by chance, if I am on a DTV visa and at some point I want to do a volunteering work here, do I need to cancel the dtv and get the specific visa for volunteering ? Or can I can accumulate or sort of have a specific authorization to just do a non paid volunteering for a short period without invalidating the dtv?

Thanks in advance 🙏🏼

Is it 500,000 baht or $15,000 usd? Bc there's a 20,000 baht difference between the two...

Hi All. Trying to get some visa advice for a friend over here now. He wants to retire here in Kanchanaburi. He cant find an agent here so has thought about BKK and Pattaya or Hua Hin.

Specifically, he is 68 and wants bank account. He has 800k to deposit.

He wants to have bank acc in Kanchanaburi, and has been told an agent can do that from BKK or Pattaya or Hua Hin bank acc after opening.

He wants to register living in Kanchanaburi, on his retirement visa, and has been told agent in other places mentioned can set that up, even if done in BKK or Pattaya or Hua Hin. Is that true?

Finally the quotes have been between 37k and 65k he has the money. Are the quotes vaue for money? He has a dodgy heart so wants to make it as easy as possible, hence an agent.

Thanks

I have the 800k but I don't think i want to tie it up in a Thai bank account. Is it worth getting an agent to sort things out?
