When applying for DTV in London, how long do you have to have 500k in the bank?

Hi 👋🏼

The embassy in Hanoi told me that 500,000 baht for a month was enough for a family of 4 but just wanted to check if anyone had done it and if they accepted it with no issues? Thanks!

My family will be moving there and applying for a remote worker visa from my wifes job. Do we need 800k baht total in the bank? Or is that per person? I will not be working and just be on the spouse visa as i will just be collecting passive income from renting out my property.

How to get a Retirement visa 😞 n Thailand. What are the requirements. Wh/How do I get 2yrs or 5 yrs visa?

Can stocks be considered for the 500k baht requirement?

Context: I have about 7k USD in my bank account and 40k USD as stocks..

Can i share my bank statement as well as my stock account statement?

Hi everyone!

I’m a software engineer working as a freelance and I am planning to apply for the DTV workcation visa.

I have 6 months of statements for my freelance account and proof of savings accounts overs 160k CAD (110k USD).

Is that sufficient for the visa application (to prove freelance activity AND financial situation) or is there anything else to improve my luck in the selection process ?

DTV Approved

Hey DTV crowd! First of all: Thanks for alle the valuable information in this group 💛 Without you, applying for the DTV would have been a nightmare.

So here is my experience applying in Phnom Penh, Cambodia under the Worcation category:

I prepared all documents in advance and uploaded them to the e-visa website, without submitting my application. So, when I arrived in Phnom Penh, I just had to add my "proof of current location".

For each PDF I created a clickable table of contents.

For all German documents I created an automatic translation with Google Translate and added it as a screenshot.

These were the documents I supplied:

1. PDF file for "Proof of current location":

- Entry stamp into Cambodia

- Visa for Cambodia

- Flight tickets Bangkok-Phnom Penh and Phnom Penh-Bangkok

- Hotel Booking for the first 4 nights in Phnom Penh

- Rental contract for my condo in Bangkok (I know, this doesn't fall under "current location" but due to file size restrictions this was the best place to proof my future location in Thailand)

2. PDF file for "Financial proof of no less than 500.000 THB":

- 3 months of bank statements (German)

- Screenshot of the English translation from Google Translate

- Screenshot from Bangkok Bank about the current exchange rate (as my account is in Euros)

Note: I had a little less than 500.000 THB in my bank account for several months and only topped it up in February. So, I added a note that due to exchange rate fluctuations I had to add more money recently.

3. PDF file for "Business Portfolio":

- Short CV with work related information

- Information about my products & services and my clients

- Confirmation of employment letter written and signed by myself

- Authorization of remote work written and signed by myself

- Operating agreement & Articles of organization of my US LLC

- Service Level Agreements with my main clients

- Bank statements showing my income plus related invoices for 6 months

The application process took the full 10 business days (plus the day of application), just as indicated on the embassy's website. The approval came pretty late, after the business hours of the embassy. So, don't be alarmed if you haven't heard anything by 5 pm on day 10!

Also, be warned that it's impossible to contact the embassy in Phnom Penh! They don't pickup the phone, they don't answer any emails and - according to second-hand information - they don't let you in if you visit in person!

And one more thing to consider for my nomad friends: Internet in Cambodia is a nightmare! So, be prepared to take a holiday or watch the hour glass forever!

Looking for advice on DTV visa application

I’m currently preparing to apply for the visa and could use some help. I’ve searched through past posts and found some useful info, but I’d like to hear your suggestions.

I worked as an online English teacher for the past 2 years and finished my contract at the end of February. I have payment slips and will receive the final one next week. I started a new job mid-January as a private contractor and have payslips for the past two months, plus a contract and a letter from the company.

Since I’m now a contractor, I assume I need to apply as a freelancer. Do I need to provide a portfolio (I don’t have one for this role), or is a resume enough? Also, can I submit payslips from my previous job even though I’m no longer employed there? I also have proof of the required 500k baht in my account.

Any advice or experience would be appreciated!

For Hanoi embassy, how long should the 500K be in the account before the submission?

I received a request today for the following documents from the Thai embassy in Hanoi after applying on Friday (quick turnaround):

1.) Photo of my entry stamp - no issue there

2.) "Updated bank statement till the present."

The issue is #2, no bank I'm aware of provides mid-month or partial month statements up until a random day of the month. The most recent statement I'm able to download from by bank ends on February 28th. For context, I already provided 6 months of bank statement upfront going from January and back.

How am I supposed to provide a "bank statement until the present" when there's obviously no statement available going all the way to March 3rd?
