Hello everyone

To get a permanent visa or residency in Thailand at age of 37 , would crypto be accepted as wealth ? Or does it have to be your bank balance

Hope that makes sense

Hi everyone, sorry for a question. my parents are willing to sponsor me for 500,000 baht to obtain a bank deposit certificate for my DTV application. Can they transfer the funds a few days before my application? Can I print out a current account bank deposit certificate and write a sponsorship letter to use for the DTV application?

DTV from Hanoi- APPROVED

Type: Woration

Applied: 7 Sep

Approved: 15 Sep (before noon)

No extra documents were asked.

What I included in my file:

Travel section

Flight bookings (into Hanoi and onward to Thailand)

Stay confirmations for both Vietnam and Thailand

Entry stamp + boarding pass as supporting evidence

Financial section

Two accounts shown with records of 6 months. One was a hybrid savings/fixed type (no frequent transactions but full access to the funds) Another was a standard account with active transactions

Together, the amounts were above the requirement

I added clear notes on account type and highlighted the relevant amounts for clarity. Added conversions.

Work section

Brief professional profile/summary

Business registration certificate

Overview of business

Supporting proof like storefront previews, customer feedback, and examples of orders

Mentioned achievements to strengthen credibility.

Closing note that I would only be working remotely and not earning locally in Thailand and be a responsible and civil expat respecting locals and their culture.

Format

Prepared three main word documents separately so editing was easy. Added a clickable table of contents for quick navigation. Combined into one clean and organized pdf before submitting and no compression needed.

This group’s posts helped me prepare, so I wanted to share back. Thank you to all the kind souls here. Sabai sabai 🙏😊

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to apply online for the new DTV visa (from the Thai embassy website), and I have a question regarding the financial requirement.

Do I necessarily need to show proof of funds over the last 3 months (15,000 EUR or 500,000 THB), or would it be enough if I just received a transfer now and can show the amount only for the most recent month?

Has anyone here applied and could share their experience?

Btw I’m French et will applied from France but online

The purpose of my DTV application is to work remotely from Thailand as my company is registered in France

Thanks a lot! 🙏

Hi. I am applying for the cooking classes 12 month course with the Canberra Embassy on an Australian passport. I will be quitting my job in 2 weeks, is it okay to put unemployed with zero income as I will be living off my 600k I’ve got saved for now. Thank you in advance.

Please can someone explain about the sponsor letter. I am applying for a non O visa. Thanks

Hello, for a retirement non-immigrant O retirement visa can a brokerage account such as a Charles Schwab be used to verify the ฿800,000/US$25,000?

I am presently waiting for my approval for the DTV. Once approved (hopefully) I plan to sponsor my husband and children. Do I need to prove the 500k baht for each person? Thanks! (FYI applying as a digital nomad)

I'm embarrassed and think I messed up. I've been asked for 12 months of statements on my Non-O for retirement the past few extensions at Division One Bangkok. Bangkok Bank takes me 3 or 4 business days to get them. One time 5 days. I opened an account at SCB. I was more concerned about the 800k posting the same day I moved it from BB to SCB. So there were zero days without 800k in an account. I walked cash over from BB to SCB and it posted in an hour the same day. I dropped to 301k at Bangkok Bank and 802k at SCB.

I didn't realize I may need to have 800k in the new account three months prior to my extension in one month. I did this today Sep 2. My visa extension expires Nov 11, 2025. I made an appointment 45 days early on Sep 29, 2025. Even if I wait until say Nov 10, 2025, that will only be in the new account 71 days.

Again, I know I may have really messed up. Is there any chance they will accept the two accounts on Sept 29? The SCB account having the 801k for only 28 days. I planned to get all the appropriate papers from each bank the morning I go in. Or perhaps going say Nov 2, will be 60 days in the new account.

Thanks for any advice
