ORIGINAL POSTER
Hiya all. I'm working on moving to Chiang Mai at the end of this year/beginning of next year. Closing my 3 businesses and selling inventory and equipment.

I'm looking at the DTV Visa 5 year. Being I'd be closing and selling my businesses I won't have any income. I will have investments and cash in the 3-400k USD range. So more than enough to live income free for a good while. A good chance to learn how to live without the constant need to grind. It will be interesting to see how this workaholic deals with being useless for a while. 🤣

My goal will be learning new skills to create an online remote business based in the US while living abroad. Will not having an income be an issue while applying for the DTV? I've seen the DTV requirements being contracts or letters of employment. I've looked at other Visa options but none seem to match what I'd be doing. Any advice would be appreciated I've done a bunch of research already but the DTV still seems like the way to go.
