Quick one for anyone who’s done the DTV Soft Power.

I’ve got two bank accounts. One where income comes in, another I use for day to day spending, Grab orders, random stuff, etc.

When they ask for bank statements, do they really expect the full 6 months with every single transaction? That’s 50 pages of Grab rides and food orders. Or is a summary or main pages usually enough?

Also, how did you actually submit this as a PDF? One big file with everything, separate PDFs per account, or a short explanation page up front?

Appreciate any insight.

So, here's my situation. I'm a remote worker with completely foreign income of around 3600 usd monthly. I work for a family business but it's not incorporated and more importantly I don't have an employment contract. I have 600k in an American account in my name and a great resume as a software engineer. I'm American and have no overstays or issues, although I did once get denied entry for having two active visas. I also stayed 2 years on ED visa and mastered the content. What do you guys think I should do? DTV remote worker or soft power? I want to take Muay Thai anyway and will probably sign up for it one way or the other.

Question about the DTV (Digital / Soft Power Visa)

I live in Thailand and use Revolut for all spending.

My income lands in a Portuguese bank, then I transfer what I need to Revolut.

I just sent 500,000 THB to the Portuguese account.

Should I move it to Revolut, leave it in Portugal, or show both accounts when applying for DTV?

Do they care more about income source or spending history in Thailand?

If anyone already applied and knows what they look at, I’d appreciate the info.

Heading back home in a couple of weeks. I plan to apply for the DTV visa while I’m there.

Is there anything I should take care of now while I’m still in Thailand documents, paperwork, or parts of the process or can everything be handled from the U.S.?

Also, for showing income: I’m paid two ways from the same company, which I’m part owner of. First, I receive a regular monthly salary. Second, I receive monthly distributions that vary a lot. Both are well above the required amount, the salary alone already meets the requirement.

Should I avoid mentioning the distributions to prevent confusion, or is it better to show the higher total income even if the salary alone qualifies?

Thanks in advance.

hello! is monthly dividend from cd account can me presented as income?

I will need to apply for a DTV from the UK embassy.

What are peoples experiences of applications through there?

Having looked through a lot of posts etc, I am still confused by what is actually required by the London embassy as requirements seem to differ greatly between locations.

I have been told that London only requires the bank balance on the month of the application, not 3 months, that they do not check previous earnings ( I do have them ) and other diffferences in some requirements.

I would be applying as a freelancer with a portfolio of apps and my marketing business.

Could people who have actually applied through the London embassy please confirm what the emabasy actually requested so I can be fully prepared.

There is so much conflicting information out there that I need a better perspective from people that have actually done it.

Thanks

thanks i advance for serious replies, nothing nice to say don't bother. i want to do it legally

Good morning, I have a question about proof of recurring income.

Does the proof need to be in the form of bank statements or will an end of year statement be acceptable?

The end of year statement lists income for the next coming year.

Hi, I'm Australian on non O retirement first extension. Have met both 800 000 and more

than 65 000 each month but to change to monthly would I need consulate letter for proof of income? At the moment can change to marriage version, but wanted to take out all of the 800k

Hello , we have a question , hopefully someone can help us with the right answer . The case is : Via our Embassy we can apply for the Non O visa , one of the requirements financial is the proof of income 65.000 THB . Our visa consultant tells us that enough to show them .

Asume everything is accepted, we are now entering Thailand , will they accept us on the same proof of income ? Or will they demand to have the 800.000 THB on our just opened Thaibank account to get our one year extension ? I could nowhere find a satisfying answer 🤔

I want to prevent that I don’t have access to my money , I’d rather invest it in Bitcoin .
