I was wondering if anyone has any experience specifically in the remote worker/digital nomad category. I am a retired military veteran that has a pension and receive disability. My intention is to relocate to Thailand and apply for the DTV and have my wife and son as dependents. My question is will my pension and disability count as “earned income” outside of Thailand?

Does anybody know what amount of Thai tax one would be paying on depositing 65K into a Thai bank with funds coming from my pension from a UK bank?

I need some advice. My pension is border line monthly income requirement depending on the exchange rate. I rather not tie up 800,000 baht if I can help it. What are my options and should I enter on 60 day entry visa and apply or outside of the country. I read that embassies will most likely reject if the income is borderline.

1st 90 day DTV immigration check-in coming up for this digital nomad. I am not on soft power and/or enrolled in any classes, and provided all financial proof on my DTV application that I am in no way a financial burden to the country (I'm receiving two pensions that put me over the threshold for a DTV). The 90 day check-in is in place as basically a way to verify one's address. I am residing in a guest house in Chiang Mai, an American friend of another American expats place. It's a nice place, and rent-free. The only caveat is that I have no lease or rental agreement, nor anyway to produce a TM30 for this place at all. Please do not lecture on how the property owner is required to submit TM30, I already know that, it's simply not gonna happen. I do not have any way to generate a TM-30, or TM47 for the 90 day immigration check-in. It is just not gonna happen, period. It has been suggested to me to book a hotel for a couple of days the night before, and the night after my check-in, so my TM-30 will be live & active during that window to be in compliance with this requirement. Does anyone know for a fact, not speculation or regurgitation of the property owner is required to submit TM-30 info, again, this will not be possible, full stop. I plan to book accommodation two days, print out receipt of stay and proof of TM 30 registration from hotel, produce US passport showing entry date, copy of my DTV, and full out TM47 onsite at the immigration office, (once I have all info about hotel I'm at at time of filing). Thanks in advance for any positive & productive advice based on actual experience. Trolls, keyboard pontificators and smartasses please don't weigh in if you don't have any real-world experience with this very specific set of circumstances. 🤘😎

Hello I am hoping to move to Thailand later this year and I am just wondering about the financial requirement for getting a non - o visa in the UK. If I have a pension income equivalent to c.60,00bht p.a. would I still need a minimum equivalent 800,000 bht in my bank account or would my pension income permit a lesser amount? Any clarification would be much appreciated. Thank you 👍

I really want to live in Thailand, and I’m willing to jump thru some hoops to make it happen. But with the retirement visa options I have a problem. I’ve gotten a few quotes for the required health insurance, but they eat up 40-45% of my pension income! I’m trying to live comfortably on my $2k/mo pension. Can anybody here guide me to a practical solution? Thanks

Good afternoon and happy new year!

I have a question about the so-called visa financial support letter from the embassy. I am familiar with the procedure and requirements for a retirement visa. However, I do not have the required 400k baht in liquid form at the moment. Has any of you knowledge (or your own experience) with the acceptance of this document by immigration? Of course I will also go to immigration myself. If you would like to share your knowledge or experience about this, it would be greatly appreciated!

Hi everyone, I’m researching the DTV visa and had a quick question. I’m a U.S. veteran receiving a monthly pension, but I’m not retirement age yet. Does pension income qualify for DTV purposes, or is employment/remote work required?

If any veterans or expats have gone through this, I’d appreciate your insight. Thanks!
