I have a quick question: I am applying for a DTV for my 13 yr old son and they are requesting proof of his current address. What I have available at the moment is a bankstatement which has his and my name on it with the address however, the account is his, therefore he does not have 500,000 TBH which is plain to see, because I purposely do not give more than $1,000 due to his age. I have separately attached financial proof of support from me to him, which is well over the minimum requirement.

My question is if anyone knows or thinks that the application will be denied because his bank has less than 500k TBH. Or, should I just think of another form or address proof for him, or, should I crop only the part of the bankstatement that has his proof of address? But would cropping a bank statement adulterate the proof?

Any thoughts on this will be helpful since I want to get it right the first time.

Thanks in advance

Hi Guys,

I got my DTV approved from HCM today 5th March afternoon.

Nationality: Italian

Digital Nomad Workation (Owner and director of a UK LTD)

Here the details:

1) Applied Friday 28th February night:

- Stamp on the passport and arrival boarding ticket as a proof of current location in Vietnam

- Bank statement of only 3 months with more than 500,000 baht for all the 3 months in the account (my bad I didn't upload directly the 6 months bank statements)

- Proof for the status of digital nomad: quick introduction about the company, incorporation documents and certificate, proof of transactions and 2 examples of contract with the related bank transfers

2)Monday 3rd March morning I received a request for additional documents:

- Financial evidence: amount of no less than 500,000 THB, e.g. bank statements, sponsorship letter : A deposit account shows the transactions last 6 months and the account balance or a combination of a deposit/saving account totaling not less than 500,000baht. Stock/Crypto/Bitcoin/Investment/Business/PayPal account and sponsor are not accepted.

- Other request documents: Provide a company profile that includes details about its history, vision, mission, products, and achievements.

- Other request documents: Provide motivation letter

For point 1) I attached the Bank statements of 3 banks of the last 6 months (because some of them were in Italian language).

For point 2) I attached the full description of every point (vision, mission etc), I explained all the process with example and pictures of how I create the product/services and how I sell it. I specify that my business is NOT related or has any interest with any kind of Thai entities.

For point 3) I mentioned real interest for Thai culture and I will be honored to have the possibility to stay in the kingdom. I mentioned again that my business is running 100% remotely and do not have any interest in the kingdom. I mentioned again that I can sustain myself and I have health insurance for emergency.

3) Tuesday 4th March morning went to pending approval.

4) Today 5th March approved in the afternoon.

Thanks to everyone for the info 🙏🏻

Hi everyone, has anyone recently secured the DTV as a remote worker while in Vietnam? I’m from the U.S. but live in Bangkok and will leave for Vietnam next week to pursue the DTV. I have my offer letter stating that I’m a remote IT worker, my boss also wrote a letter to double down on that as well, I have $18k in savings that I’ve saved up the last 4 months or so. I also signed a lease on an apartment here in bangkok I plan to stay in Vietnam at least 2 weeks. Do you think it’s enough? I don’t have 6 months of statements amounting to $18k each month.

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

I'm a US citizen applying in Jakarta this week and have a few questions for the group regarding Muay Thai soft power application and submission of documents.

I've merged 3 months bank statements into a single PDF and I'm wondering if it would be helpful to highlight the closing balance on the most recent statement?

For those that included a screenshot of the exchange rate for the day of submission, did you merge it into a PDF with your statements and keep it as the first page of the document?

I'm thinking of ordering my financial documents like this:

1. Official balance letter from bank.

2. Screenshot of account balance from my banking app on day of submission.

3. Exchange rate on day of submission.

4. 3 months bank statements ( balance topped up 3 weeks ago and only most recent statement reflects 500k+).

Also, I'm currently unemployed and primarily sustain myself from my cryptocurrency investments (they will be able to see withdrawals from Coinbase for the top up). Would it be reccomended to tick the unemployed box?

Thank you to the group and I would appreciate any insight you all may have!

If you are asked to come in for an interview, and they ask to see your bank balance, can I just pull it up on the mobile app on my phone?

Do they ask to see the actual statements through the mobile app, or do they reference names and account numbers from the mobile app? Or is it just a quick balance check?

On my mobile banking app it doesn't even say a name or anything. It just has my balance and account number.

Hi all, I'm applying for the DTV and struggling with the 3MB file limit. I already downsized some of my files on the initial application, and they came back with 'please check document quality' comment. But there's no way I can add the requested 6 months banking history in good quality within 3MB.

What would you advise in this case?

Edit: I already compressed some of them to the smallest size using Photoshop on my initial application, but in the following request for additional info they wrote "Check your document quality". So I'm confused. How about sending the large pdfs to the embassy by email? Or by google drive and add a link in the PDF?

I’ve been told you need to have proof the required 500,000 baht has been in your bank account continuously for 28 days prior to your application. Has anyone had to provide this?
