I am a Japanese applicant currently in the process of applying for the Muay Thai Workation Visa.

There is an issue with the financial requirement: for the proof of 500,000 THB in funds, I submitted three documents showing my liquid assets held in a securities account (for the past 6 months, 3 months, and current balance), since I hold most of my assets in a securities account rather than a bank account.

However, I was asked again to submit a bank statement showing the 3-month average balance.

Are there any members here who have successfully used proof of liquid assets in a securities account instead of a traditional bank statement?

Also, I have heard that recently many Muay Thai Workation Visa applications are being rejected — do we know how many applicants have been approved recently?

UPDATE for clarity please — To add - I have over 500k across the 3 months statements going in and out, in addition to the 500k that will be in the end balance I submit. Will this be ok?

Looking for some advice - I have the 500k going into my personal current account this week from a family member and I will be applying via London embassy. Two questions:

1. I’ve heard reports of requests for the 500k being in your bank for 3 months, is this true or can I apply as soon as the money is in my account?

2. I will apply in UK as per advice in comments!

Thanks in advance.

About to apply for a DTV but my finances are spread over savings (cash isa's , bonds , savings ) account. I very rarely have much in my current account just covers my bills due to it being 0%. I was told by somebody else who has thinking of applying that the 12k has to be in a current a/c for three months and not savings accounts , is this true ? thanks.

Hi everyone, I am planning on applying for a DTV workcation for myself and 2 dependent DTV for my children. My husband will apply for a Non-0 volunteer visa (he needs a work permit). We are applying through Chicago. My husband and I have a joint bank account. We currently have the 500,000 baht in our account. I am able to move over additional money to cover my dependents. I am wondering if I also need to move over enough money to cover my husband. Even though he won't be on a DVT, my concern is they will want me to have the money in there since it is a joint account. Thanks for your help!

Dear all,

I need to apply for a DTV (Destination Thailand Visa) for medical treatment in Thailand and I kindly ask you to help me clarify some doubts, so as to avoid my application being rejected:

1)"Applicant should not apply for visa more than 3 months before the date of intended arrival."

The regulation says that I cannot apply more than 3 months before the date of intended arrival in Thailand. This means that, if I want to leave in August 2025, I cannot apply yet, right? If today is March 8, 2025, I can apply for a visa with a maximum departure date of June 8, 2025, correct?

2)"Financial evidence: amount of no less than 500,000 THB, e.g. bank statements, sponsorship letter."

Is a letter from the bank stating that my balance is more than 500,000 THB okay?

3)"Document indicating current location."

Is a proof of residence with my Italian address sufficient? Or do I also need a copy of my ID card?

4)"Proof of confirmation to attend the activity or letter of appointment from hospital/medical center."

Is a medical certificate from the hospital stating that I need to undergo medical checks for at least six months valid as documentation?

5) Hotel/flight reservation.

In the DTV visa application I do not need to attach any proof of hotel or flight reservation to Thailand, right? Unlike the 60-day tourist visa, for the DTV you only need the documents listed above, correct?

Many thanks to whoever answers! 😊

We are married. For a retirement visa, do we both need to have 800k in a Thai bank (1600 total) or will 800k be sufficient for both of us. What are options if we don’t have the 1600k but want to stay for a year? TIA.

How long does it take to apply for a METV. Can I apply from outside my country of citizenship or residence?

Where near Thailand is the process currently the quickest?

Also, does anyone have experience with using a short-term loan or a family sponsor to meet the financial requirements? I’m not exactly sure how much is needed, but I’ve heard of people taking out loans just to show the required funds. I’m not sure how safe or reliable this option is.

For context, I’m British.

My husband is chinese he's applying DTV Can he put me on his DTV? We are married.

Hello guys, I have 2 questions about DTV visa

1- I am a newbie freelancer, I have contracts with my clients. Are contracts counted as enough to prove that you are a freelancer?

2- Is there any time duration rule (such as; 90 days) for required amount of money (at least 5000.000 THB) to stay in your account?

Thanks in advance :)

Hello again! I will be applying in Taipei. Has anyone had experience applying there with bank statements from a savings account? My savings account has had over 500k THB for more than 6 months, however there have only been a couple of transactions over this period.
