Hello everyone,

I would like to ask for some advice regarding the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV), based on my personal situation.

My main source of income comes from property rental. I manage a rental property that provides regular income, and this has been my main source of earnings for several years. I don’t have a classic online or remote job, but I can clearly demonstrate sufficient funds and financial stability if required.

I’ve spoken with an agency that claims many “traditional” DTV applications are being rejected or delayed for weeks, while they offer a fast-track option (1–3 days) at a high cost.

Before considering that route, I’d like to understand whether my profile (rental income / asset-based income rather than online employment) is generally acceptable for a standard DTV application.

Has anyone here with a similar background (property rental, passive or asset-based income) successfully applied for the DTV through the regular embassy process? If so, where did you apply and what kind of documentation was most important?

Any real experiences or insights would be very helpful.

Thank you in advance.

Dear all, I have a different situation as I never seen this kind of question here. I have Airbnb’s in my home country and I manage that online, would it count as a source of income and prove of online work for the DTV visa? (Of course I have way more than the asked money on my bank account 😁)

Thank you all in advance.

Asking for some help in how to apply with 2 sources of income from outside of Thailand. I work for a UK based company remotely - this is a zero hour/casual worker contract. However, I have worked for this company since 2023 and the work is ongoing. I can show this through payslips, teaching timetables, etc. I also work on an online teaching platform as a freelance teacher - I don't earn very much, but it shows I have worked with them for the past 2 years with a small top up income. As for savings, I have 20,000 pounds in a UK bank account, which has been there for around 2-3 month. I am a bit worried that my contract is zero hour and casual worker contract - do you think this will be an issue? For my freelance teaching work - does it matter that I don't earn very much from this? Any help would be great. Thanks.

Can I put 2 sources of income stream on application? I work remotely for a UK based company for 3 years now, but the contract only states zero hr contract and casual worker. I also work on an online teaching site as a freelancer, don't really earn anything but does show I have some income. I was wondering if I could, or should show both. I have payslips for the zero hr contract work, and a profile and earnings spreadsheet generated by online platform job.

Approved! Phew! 😮‍💨

I was having issues with missing documents as they were requesting a birth certificate, but it was going to take up 4 weeks for me to receive from my government.

Sent them a word document with the information above and I got called in for an interview.

I made it very clear that I was only working and taking money from my own country and other countries, not Thailand. The interviewer said “I’m very happy you understand that”, check my bank balance and I was approved one minute after walking outside of the embassy!

Thanks for the help, all! ❤️

just left the local revenue office.

here's what they asked

1. Any income from Thailand? No

2. Any monthly pension? No

3. Is the money coming in from savings on income before 1 January 2024? Yes

I showed them a print out of my ATM withdrawals and my WISE transfers.

No need to file or pay tax in Thailand due to transferred funds and ATM withdrawals coming from existing savings.

Hello all.

I am in a very unique situation where I won an unemployment tribunal on the basis of severe bullying from management that I decided to whistle blow on. I'm posting anonymously as I had to sign an NDA.

The money was paid to me in a lump sum of $150,000 from my company and then I had a four month gap in between where I received no new income as I was living on this settlement payment.

I now have a new role and I'm an employed remote worker. Majority of that settlement payment was given to family members. So I only have around 30,000 left.

Do you think immigration would accept or understand being paid a large assessment payment as a result of an employment tribunal as an acceptable source of income, if there were a few months in between where I received no income at all and was unemployed?

Do you think I should explain this to them especially considering I signed a NDA or do you think this will just make them see me as complex and it is better off saying that I was just paid off a large redundancy payment?

anyone apply using rental property and/or military VA benefits as sources of income for the dtv?

I have the 500k THB in my bank account, so i just need to provide the earning money while living abroad, Would receiving regular income from either of the following qualify me for the DTV

Rental Property

Air Bnb

Stock market trading/dividends
