For the LTR wealthy pensioner. What do you need to prove the monthly passive income requirement? Retirement pay stubs? Or some other proof like bank account or other paperwork.

Does this money have to be transferred into Thailand somehow or can it just stay as passive income in my own US account?

Does the passive retirement income have to be earned and documented for a whole year before application?

Where do I look for health Insurance in Thailand for LTR compliance.

Anyone with experience or trouble getting the wealthy pension LTR, have any advice on pitfalls or helpful suggestions? Open to using a visa service, any suggestions? Is it Better to apply in or out of Thailand?

Thank you all. Sorry for long post.

Applying from Ho Chi Minh, how serious do they take 2 years tax returns as Airbnb/property company has not been active long enough to file them, I have provided a cover letter stating this but I’m not sure how well it will go down.

DTV for stock trader

For those who have already received their visa, did you handle the application yourself through the E-Visa portal, or did you use an agency?

Has anyone here successfully applied as a Stock Trader/Investor? I work for myself trading stocks

Hi all, I'm planning on applying for the DTV remote work visa within the next three months. I'll be applying through the United States Los Angeles consulate.

I'm in the process of transitioning to full time freelance work(for years I've been part-time freelance with a full-time remote job while my spouse has been full time freelance).

This is where I'm a little concerned about the visa approval. We have well over the 500,000 baht and can prove our freelance work through ongoing invoices and our business websites etc. but our tax returns for this year mainly reflect my full time job. I just filed for 2025 and am now starting to aggressively take on clients for March so I can transition away from corporate America.

Would this be a noticeable discrepancy that would cause my application to be denied?

just curious, do people living in thailand on dtv - but not earning money in thailand do their tax return, this applies to those staying 180+ days each year.

Hi there

Just received request for more information. First one for proof of location should be straight forward. Second one - I had money in one account and then I split it to get a higher interest rate in like a deposit saver account that cannot have transactions against it. This was about 4 months ago. The other account I have is a joint account and that one is also where I can highlight transactions for payslips against it for past 6 months. I changed the transactions to the account just under my name around 2 months ago. So do I combine all these bank accounts and should I put an explaination letter as well. Finally 2 years tax receipts - I am assuming g personal not a business and I have not completed the 24/25 tax return yet because I do not have to compete this until March this year.

Any advice or help would be appreciated

I have question about showing proof of funds!

I am a UK citizen but my main account is my NZ bank account where I deposit my income from my role as a freelancer (I have a portfolio where I can show them my work and the income I've accrued over the last few years).

This is where the bulk of my transactions have taken place as I use this to pay for subscriptions/insurance etc.

I don't use my UK bank accounts that much except for locking money away for my savings account.

I am planning to apply in Hanoi soon so I will transfer money from my UK savings account to my NZ bank account so that I have 500k before the next bank statement comes out

Will that cause any issues?

TIA🙏

Hi everyone,

my girlfriend plans to apply for the Thailand DTV Workcation Visa at the Thai Embassy in Frankfurt at the end of December and we have a quick question.

* She is self-employed since May this year

* €2,000–2,500 average monthly income since May

* 500,000 THB in savings for over 3 months

* Tax returns for 2023 & 2024, but from working-student employment (self-employment started only in May)

We’ve heard that the Frankfurt embassy often asks for tax returns from previous years.

👉 How does the embassy usually handle cases where the applicant has only recently become self-employed?

👉 Is it a problem if older tax returns are not from self-employment?

Thanks a lot for any recent experiences! 🙏

Have many UK citizens applying for DTV through London Embassy been asked for tax returns when applying as a freelancer?

Hello I'm applying in Hanoi in 2 weeks.

I’m a remote software engineer and self-employed, should I apply through the freelance or business owner pathway ?

I don’t have a salary or employment contract per se, since I pay myself through dividends and cash compensations.

However, I do have a tax return showing a good income (under a different tax/company structure last year).

I’d appreciate any guidance on how to best structure or present my application.

I only stay 6 days in Hanoi before moving back in Thailand by the way, hope it's enough...
