My family will be moving there and applying for a remote worker visa from my wifes job. Do we need 800k baht total in the bank? Or is that per person? I will not be working and just be on the spouse visa as i will just be collecting passive income from renting out my property.

I’m from the UK looking to apply for the DTV this year. Can anyone advise how much you need to be earning as a remote worker/freelancer to succeed with the application please? Thanks in advance!

Hello all, my wife and i are planning to move to phuket. She will work from home for an american hospital. I will not work as we will also have an income from 2 rental properties. Our plan is she gets the remote worker visa and that says it applies to spouse and kids. Do we need to show a bank balance of $30k or something first to be approved? Thanks in advance!

I'm planning to apply as a remote worker and have seen posts about applicants being asked to provide payslips and proof of salary deposits in their bank statements. I use two different accounts—a checking and a savings account. My salary is automatically deposited into my checking account, but I keep most of my funds in my savings, which is what I intend to use as proof of 500K. I’d rather not transfer the 500K to my checking account because I’d have to wait a full month for my bank statement to reflect the amount. Any advice on how to navigate this?

Looks like they're tweaking the LTR requirements a bit.

Remote worker: company needs to show 50 million in income over 3 years instead of 150 million.

Wealthy global citizen: no more monthly income requirement

Remove the cap on dependant LTR visas from 4 to unlimited.

They are also gutting the Smart visa program and completely getting rid of it except for the Startup category.

hello! looking for information from folks that have recently applied as a remote worker in Hanoi. both my partner and myself want to apply (canadian & american).

we have both had language ED visas in the past, and have spent many months over the years in Thailand. I see a lot of info in this chat about extra documents requested, i’ll list here what i’m seeing as necessary. please add your experience and any other documentation you needed!

also, i see people recommending folks to check the specific embassy’s requirements for documentation, but i’m not finding that information on Hanoi’s website outside of the basic requirements.

documents to provide:

- cover letter explaining past and present work and what i’ve been doing in thailand

- work contracts (freelancer from september, employed from jan 1st)

- CV

- examples of my work

- record of employment

- my employer’s company incorporation/registration as a 501c3

- letter from employer about me working remotely

- bank statements showing 500k from how many months? showing incoming payments from my employer. i also was a freelancer being paid in crypto before, should i include that?

- other basic docs like passport scan, passport photo, vietnam entry stamp, vietnam hotel booking

thanks in advance for any support!
