Good day! Tried to search Google first, so be kind …

Please help me with the confusion - retirement visa for Thailand at the age of 50. Do I need to have some monthly income (1850 USD per Google)? Obviously, at 50 years old I won’t be collecting my social security yet … is there a way to get retirement visa based on bank accounts balance or any trick around? Can I pay myself that darn 1850USD each month?

I have funds (sold all the assets in US) but not at retirement age yet

Thanks for your advice

Ps. Not 50 yet, not for a long while BUT already looking into my options outside of the US and EU

Wondering if anyone knows if immigration in Bangkok or Hua Hin is accepting the current affidavit of income from Canadian Consulate as proof of income? TIA

Hello all....

I'll be applying for the DTV from Vietnam next week and have a few questions about the process.

I have worked abroad for a long time and have moved around an awful lot so I haven't been liable to pay tax anywhere. I have read that many folks are being asked to provide tax returns.

Has anyone successfully applied for and been granted the DTV without being asked for evidence of paying tax? I, of course have the funds in the bank and have done so for at least six months.

I am an English tutor that works online and is self-employed.

Would it be better for me to mention up-front on my cover letter that I am unable to provide evidence of tax returns or wait for them to ask?

I'd appreciate any info.

Thank you!

Hi, for the yearly extension of non imm o visa based on marriage it is possible instead of the thai bank deposit to give a certified letter from the embassy that shows my salary? Thanks.

Hello. I am working on applying for the Visa in Vietnam. Did any Independent Contractors apply? Do you have any advice in what you showed for proof of income?

Applied at Taipei online.

Not sure how to get the certificate of entry and exit date from Taiwan National Immigration Agency?

Also for proof of income…I don’t have any proof. I played online poker before, and I had bought a little bit of crypto years ago, should I just take a picture of my crypto wallet and write a description of why I have the money? I wrote “retired 40-60k” for my occupation and income. The amount I have in my wallet is several multiple of that so it makes sense?

I have been working as a freelancer for twelve years and do not have a work contract with any of my clients. Does this present a problem when applying to get a DTV visa considering their work contract requirements? As a translator of content that is used along with colleagues' written content, the type of work I do also does not lend itself to providing portfolio examples.

My AI bot offered the following alternatives, but I would like human feedback before I go ahead and "throw away $300". Thanks.

After some advice 🙂

My passport needs to be renewed in a few months time, is it best to renew it early then apply or will the visa details be transferred?

Also I own a couple of ltd companies, what proof will I be asked for to say I can manage them remotely and still have an income.

TIA

For content creators who have successfully applied - what evidence did you show? I primarily make income through Patreon, is it enough to document your earnings through different income streams? I’m only just filing my first tax return for 23/24 now and it was a very small earnings year - it’s vastly improved now in 24/25 so I’m worried they’ll be concerned about my past earnings. I know it’s not judged on how much you’re making monthly but I’m a bit worried about them not judging content creation as a real job!

Has anybody already applied for dependant infants and how does it work regarding the financial requirements?
