I'm getting started as a freelancer and I have about 700,000 Baht in the bank. Do you think if I have a registered business, portfolio, website, but not much freelance income, I would be denied the DTV for the freelance path? Or should I go the soft power route?

I just wanted to share my experience for applying for the DTV visa as a freelancer …. I applied in Da Nang (Vietnam) last Monday , 2 days later I was asked for additional documents (high lighted freelancer income on bank statements/entry stamp to Vietnam/Company registration for the agency i currently have a contract with).

I supplied everything that was asked for and just had it it approved today, so that’s 7 days in totall including the weekend. I used chat GTP to support my application , which was really efficient and made my application clear and structured. The prep was the hardest part … all in all a smooth process. Good luck to everyone else applying 🙏

Maybe this is a silly question but I will use minimum 65 000 baht per month transfer to my Thai bank account for my 1 year extension (Non-Immigrant O retired in the bottom) because Immigration Office refused my income letter from Swedish Embassy in Bangkok.

So, I understand that every single month 65 000 baht must be transferred to my account in my name only, it need to be shown as transactions from outside Thailand.

Does it matter how many days it is between these monthly transactions or is it okay as long as it comes into my account every calendar month?

I mean for an example 20th November, 10th December, 15th January and so on, is there a minimum/maximum days rule between these transactions?

Thanks.

Anybody here has a Non O visa because they have a Thai child? Not a marriage one.

Evening all.

A friend of mine has been married to a thai lady for 2 years now,when he comes to visit he's been coming on visa exempt entry.

He's applying for a Non O visa 90 days, he can prove the 65k a month income, as he still works he's only 50 years old. He's worried that the money coming into his bank account is wages not any kind of pension, would the uk thai embassy knock him back for a visa, as when he's here there's no money going into his account. As they would see from bank statement it's money from a employer.

Working on retiring to Thailand next year. A couple of questions

1 - Showing income requirements for renewal every year, can I use an income letter from Irish Embassy and therefore escape having to use Thai banking system with all its issues.

2 - do I still have to have Health insurance as I will be showing funds larger than the 800k baht needed.

How does the 65000 baht per month work? Can I withdraw it right away? I am talking about the 2nd extension. Tia

Hi everyone! Has anyone successfully obtained a DTV using rental income as their main source of income? From what country did you apply? Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

For Retirement Visa----I work 4 or 5 months a year in the USA ---- I make about $20,000 or $25,000 from this work. My Social Security is only $1163 a moth. I would prefer to show adequate annual income and not put the 800,000 in an account. Is this doable? Will I be charged INCOME TAX on the work income I have in the USA? Thanks

Hey guys

We're gearing up to make our travels and apply for the DTV

We have all the requirements, bank, savings etc. applying for the soft power muay Thai. We generate income online, and was curious if they accept PayPal records as a form to prove income? Thanks!

Also, coming from America

Does anyone use Chase? I was curious if anyone has recommendations for the safest banks to use over in Thailand? Sorry if this was answered before
