Do yo still have to deposit 65,000 every month for retirement o visa thanks

Can a share portfolio in home country be used as proof of 500,000THB along with proof of income statements ?

Thanks In advance

Big thanks to this group for all the help. I’ll add my own success story here for others.

Applied in Jakarta for the *workcation* DTV before business hours on July 8th. Status changed to “Pending Approval” in the afternoon of July 11th. Got the approval email around 6 p.m. on July 15th.

Some questions or murky areas I wasn’t sure about during the process — sharing in case it helps others. Just my experience; your mileage may vary:

• Bank statements: 3 months was fine — just the first “summary” page showing the bank name, address, and balance (highlighted). Not the entire statement.

• Passport “Place of Issue” field: I entered the *country*, not the issuing authority.

• Proof of consistent income: I submitted 3 years of annual income tax returns, first page only, with the income highlighted.

• Address fields: My current address was different from my home address. On the form, home address goes at the top, current address goes at the bottom under “Is your permanent address same as your current address?”

Overall, I learned from this group not to take form preparation lightly. Create a clean, well-organized PDF designed for a non-native English speaker. Make their life easy. Highlight all relevant numbers. Write a clear cover letter explaining what’s included and how to interpret your documents. Eliminate all vagueness.

Example: they ask for proof of current location, so give them the passport stamp, hotel reservation, a photo of you in the hotel holding the passport stamp, plane ticket, etc. Leave no doubt.

Also — don’t use an agent. It won’t be faster. It won’t be better. I suspect that most of the people on here mentioning specific agents are just rather unethical and dishonest marketing tactics. The required documents are pretty straightforward, and the submission process itself is very easy. Just *triple check everything.*

Thanks again to everyone for the assistance! If you need me, I'll be drowning in Pad Thai.🤤

Hello everyone,

I'm currently in Vietnam preparing a file for a DTV (Workation) visa application.

I currently have :

* Bank statements from my European bank showing over 500,000 THB over the past 3 months.

* Screenshots of my crypto wallet with over 3 million THB.

* A portfolio showing my income (exclusively from crypto), including an Excel sheet detailing the revenue and supporting screenshots.

* A screenshot of my Booking.com reservation in Vietnam.

* A "motivation letter" explaining why I want to go to Thailand and roughly how I'm financially independent thanks to crypto.

* A passport photo.

I plan to go in person to the Thai embassy in Hanoi to apply for the visa.

Do I need any additional documents? Is there a form I need to fill out? If so, where can I download and print it?

Do you think my application might be rejected because all my income comes from crypto?

Thanks in advance! 😊

Hi All, I'm new to the group.

I’m applying for a Thai non O-A visa. [members only]

One of the requirements is to provide a ”Recent bank statement for the last three months showing the applicant's name and ending balance of no less than $30,000 or proof of monthly income of not less than $2,500/month) along with the current bank statement showing incoming income”. I meet the $2,500/month requirement, though I only had the $30,000 for two months.

The doubt is that I usually keep the vast majority invested and not in a bank account.

Would it be beneficial to include a formal document from my investment account that indicates the total amount invested? The amount is significantly higher than the requirement, amounting to 800,000 baht.

Should I wait an additional month to submit my application?

I already rented a place to live. Should I provide a copy of the documentation from the home lease?

Is the application process based solely on uploading documents to the website or are the documents mailed to the embassy?

Thank you in advance.

PS: I already have Thai health insurance, completed the background check, the health certificate, a copy of my passport, and recent photos. My lease starts August 15.

Proof of income ?

My income comes from a goverment retirement and is well over the minimum requirements.

If there is proof of income, can I skip the 800.000 B rule ? Or should it be deposited for 12 months ?

So who provides this paperwork ?The bank? The embassy on proof of bank?

Many countries don't deliver this paperwork.

Does anyone know if Belgium provides a proove of income to get a retirement visa.

Hi,if applying for a non oa visa,if you use the monthly money route,do you just need 3 months bank statements for proof of income,thank you.

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.

In the process of moving to Thailand - retirement - is it required to have a Thai bank account it can I keep my $$$ offshore?

For those of you who applied soft power in Hanoi were you asked for proof of income? I can't really tell if this is an informal requirement or not. I have ~650k in savings but I'm currently unemployed and unsure if this is an issue. In my free time I would like to pick up some freelance work but don't currently have any clients or paystubs.
