Hi!

Looking to apply workation DTV in Ho chi Minh.

I'm hired as a remote contractor. My company can provide Employment letter, however, I only worked there for 2 months. I have proof of requirement for 500k baht savings already.

Wondering if I'll absolutely need payslips for the last 6 months.

Note that i get paid in digital currency so im not sure how i can show salary payment in bank account. I do have tax returns for my prior employment years, though it wasnt remote.

Hi members..

Just want to confirm something. Please reply if you only know the truth.

Different stories about visas.

If you been married to a Thai national for over 2 months the bank fee comes down to

400000bht.

And can you show funds in your bank or does it have to be deposited into Thai bank.

Does the money stay in bank

And no can use.

I entered Thailand via Chiangmai Airport today from Hanoi, Vietnam (13 June).

They sent off DTV holders to separated area next to the immigration lines to fill the interview form which basically asking the same information as TDAC form (personal info, arrival-departure flight/date,etc.)

I got asked to show the proof of money in my bank account. I just pulled up my bank app.

And asked about the address and what is the purpose of visiting/how long.

But overall it was not intimidating or anything.

It wasn't a long process just quick and straightforward.

Ps. This is first time entering with DTV visa

Just sharing some experience here if anyone was looking for. :)

Hi everyone!

I have a DTV visa (Workcation),i applied for an e-visa for my son & sponsor to (13 years old Son)

I got email ,requested documents

I’ve been to the embassy to try to get explanations. The officer after checking told me “my documents were not qualified”, but said they couldn’t say which document or more particular reason.

So I show the officer my documents, to ask opinion.

- Proof of locations :

OK (airport stamp + Airbnb booking)

- Bank statement:

officer said maybe my statement looks fake. Because there is not a lot of activity on it the past 6 months. Only 4 or 4 transaction In and Out. But this is my saving account. I don’t use it every day. On my daily account I never have 500k.

Also, I provided statement physically stamped by the bank + cover letter from the bank certify I have the fund.

What should I do in this case ?? Is this already happened to someone ? I guess it’s linked to many fake statement provided.

- Soft Power documents:

Officer said my letter was not really detailed on sport training detail. And should explain more what will I do.

Both myself and my wife got the DTV in the last 2 months. Both of us used our Brokerage statements rather than a checking or savings accounts. I hear alot of misinformation here so I figured this may help somebody.

Both of us went through the DC Thai consulate and submitted Schwab Brokerage statements. She had around 50K USD in the S&P500 (VOO/SPLG) and I have around 150k in the same.

No idea if crypto or random sketchy stocks would work like GME.

I have over 1M baht, unemployed (freelancer but taking time off) will they ask for income

if I apply soft power? Already in da nang.

Thailand has reinstated the requirement for tourist visa applicants to provide proof of financial resources, effective May 2025. This has now at least been implemented by the Royal Thai embassy Berlin and the 2 Thai consulates in Germany. Maybe other embassies will follow, I don't know. I wish to avoid any speculations.

It has already been installed in the e-visa online system of some Thai embassies, and others might follow soon.

This old

requirement was lifted in November 2023 to facilitate entry for international travelers.

Applicants for a 60-days single entry or multi entry tourist visa must now provide proof of at least 20,000 THB equivalent to their local currency, usually through recent bank statements or a letter of sponsorship.

This proof must be uploaded into the e-visa application.

Hi everyone,

I’m applying for the DTV at the Thai embassy in Jakarta and wanted to check something. I’ve had over 500,000 baht in my savings account for a bit more than 2 months (but not quite 3 months yet). The funds were transferred from a term deposit account into my savings account more than 2 months ago. Do you think that will be sufficient for the embassy to approve the visa?

Also, would adding a Thai bank account (alongside my non-Thai one) help increase the chances of approval? Or would that just complicate things?

The official website says a 3-month bank statement is required—do you think it’s safer to submit a 6-month statement instead?

If you have any relevant experience or helpful info, I’d really appreciate your input. Thanks in advance!

I am getting married to my Thai partner in early July and wish to retire in Thailand. I have started to an application for a non o visa and I got extremely bogged down around the fourth page asking for things like proof of medical insurance and funds in a Thai bank account as well as a medical certificate and police clearance. Am I approaching this the right way. I am from Australia. I'm sure that this kind of question has been asked repeatedly however, any constructive information would be greatly appreciated. I intend to register our marriage and apply for a spousal visa.
