Hi,

I am a new member, Swedish, and have lived full time for 8 years. Have Non-O at the bottom and 1-year extension built on Spouse.

Next year the Swedish Embassy will stop making Income Certificates which I understand many other countries have already stopped.

Now my questions:

Is there a "Monthly Income Method", i.e. showing bank statements from the bank 12 months ago with more than 40,000 baht/month instead of 400,000 baht at an account?

Could there be different rules for different provinces? I live in Rayong.

Hi All, I'm currently in my home country and applied online for a Non-immigrant Type O.

Today I've got a request for more documents: *Please upload the bank transaction money in CURRENT ACCOUNT for LAST THREE MONTHS showing your name and the balance, the amount income monthly not less than 65,000 THB or total balance 800,000 *THB*.*

1) Can I provide the entire balance of my portfolio and not the transactions? Because that amount of money is in the investment portfolio in the bank.

*2) (e.g., bank statements for the last three months, sponsor letter) -*"Sponsor letter" - does that refer to the same bank guarantee letter they use to ask?

Yesterday I went to Bangkok Bank Jomtien branch in Pattaya to get my annual letter confirming monthly transfers of 65,000 bahts which in the past Immigration has required. The bank officer told me that they no longer provide such letters as in the past, and that I had to take my bank books for the past 12 months + photocopies of the relevant pages showing the monthly transfers, and that Immigration will accept this as proof. The bank does still issue a letter confirming that I am an account holder that will state the balance on hand on the day of renewal application., but that's all. Has anyone else had this experience?

Hi there

I would love to get some info from recent DTV applicants to the UK embassy. I'm most interested in the financial requirements. Some posts in this group are only weeks apart but they seem to suggest different rules were applied. Anyone have a definitive answer?

Thanks in advance 😀

Hellooo friends! I have a question about the DTV and especially about which embassy to choose. I've missed my deadline to transfer the 500k to a bank account, at least if I want to show 3 months of maintaining it. I've now heard that some people had success with certain embassies while only providing proof of only a single month.

All the other requirements are easy for me to produce, it's just this one. So, anyone that has gotten the DTV with just one month of bank statements and which embassy? I guess I would prefer ones in Germany.

Hello, regarding the 15k usd / 500k baht, what are the seasoning rules? Can I just put the money in my daughters account for one month then she use it to show she has the funds?

I have an interview, do I need to bring pictures of myself as one of the documents they want me to bring?

Other than that I will bring bank statements, the softpower documents, cover letter and passport.

Is there anything else needed?

Do I need the latest bank statements? Can I show 10 days old bank statement?

Hello Everyone,

I am planning to apply for the Thailand Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) and would really appreciate your guidance and advice.

Here is my situation:

I am a remote worker (motion graphic artist / creative director). Most of my clients are based locally in Pakistan, while some projects come from the MENA region as well.

I operate under a sole proprietorship business (X-Y-Z) which is registered with the tax authorities. Since it’s a sole proprietorship, my National Tax Number (NTN) is the same for both myself and my company.

My company bank account shows an average balance of around 700K+ THB (over the past 3+ months), whereas my personal account balance is around 100K+ THB.

I don’t work as a salaried or contracted employee. Instead, I take on project-based work from both local and international clients.

I have a well-documented online portfolio under both my personal name and company name (Behance, Vimeo, and other platforms).

My business is tax registered, and I file taxes every year.

I am a bit unsure how to present my application given that I am not a salaried employee, but a business owner/freelancer.

👉 Questions I have:

1. For the bank statement requirement, can I use my company bank statement (sole proprietorship) instead of my personal account, since the NTN is the same and I earn under the business name?

2. Should I also attach tax returns or business registration documents to strengthen my case?

3. Is a letter of explanation necessary, describing my work model (remote freelancer / project-based business)?

4. Has anyone from Pakistan in a similar freelance/business setup successfully obtained a DTV?

5. Are there any additional documents I should prepare to prove the legitimacy of my remote income and work (e.g., contracts, invoices, client letters)?

Any advice, tips, or shared experiences would be extremely valuable to me. 🙏

Hello everyone,

I’m currently working on building my 500,000 baht balance on my account. I expect to have it before my application, but the 500,000 balance will only be there for a few weeks, probably before my application. I’ll be applying at the Vienna embassy. Do you have any experience with this?

I can provide six months of statements, and they’ll see my monthly income from my employer. It’ll be the same company that will provide a letter for “remote work approval” and a contract as well.

So, what do you think? Is it more important to have a 500,000 baht balance for three months straight, or is it okay to have an end balance of 500,000 baht gained over six months?

Another thing is, I have two accounts in the same bank. One is my personal account, and the other is my business account. I always have money in my business account and then move about 70% of that paycheck to my personal account. I do this because I pay my insurance and taxes from my business account and other expenses from my personal account.

When I show my statements, there will be a difference in the numbers on those accounts. Should I show them with some graphic that highlights those moments on my accounts or add some text in the PDF to explain everything?

Lastly, should I provide every bank statement in English? Has anyone used Google Image Translation for this?

Thank you for your responses.
