Regarding the 500,000 THB bank requirement for 3 months (Thai visa), I’d like to share some insights.

(Note: Requirements can vary by country and case.)

🔑 Key Point:

The most important factor is proving that your source of income is genuine and stable. Your bank statement must clearly reflect this.

At the closing date, your balance should be at least 500,000 THB.

Simply depositing 500,000 in one go right before the submission or splitting it into large sums over a short period is not ideal and may not be accepted.

🇰🇭 Cambodia (As of July 2025):

If your 6-month statement shows regular income and expenses, and your balance at the closing date is at least 500,000 THB, it should generally be acceptable.

But again, do not just make a single lump-sum deposit of 500,000 THB right before your application. Immigration often reviews how your income came in over time.

Make sure your bank account clearly shows your income source — for example:

If you are a freelancer or remote worker, ensure your payment slip matches the amount shown in your bank statement.

You can strengthen your case by providing screenshots of your income source (e.g., Upwork, Fiverr, Wise, etc.).

📘 Bank Documents to Prepare:

Know which visa type you used when opening your bank account.

Keep your bank book updated, including stamped pages.

Take clear photos of:

Latest statement

Updated passbook

App balance (with timestamp)

If your bank account was opened with an old passport, make sure to update your new passport details at the bank.

If pages in your new passbook are linked to the old one, take photos of any reference stamps as well.

📸 When submitting photos of documents:

Include timestamps if required.

Be sure they’re clear and readable.

❗❗❗ Warning About Fakes:

Please don’t trust some agencies just because they are well-known. There have been real cases where agents faked documents, including:

Fake deposits without real money

Fake income sources

Photoshop-altered bank statements

Some people got into serious trouble because of this.

Always ask questions and verify everything yourself. Fake documents might seem easy, but the risk is high — you could lose money, get blacklisted, or be banned from entering the country again.

💡 Final Advice:

Work with a reliable and ethical agent who cares about doing things properly.

Before applying, double-check all your documents at least 3 times.

If you can’t afford to meet the full requirement, look for a legitimate company that can help prove your real income source (not fake paperwork).

I wish everyone the best of luck! I’ll continue sharing tips as I learn more.

Just remember: every country and case is different, so the safest way is to make sure your documents are genuine, consistent, and explainable.

Has anyone ever needed to prove how they would support themselves in Thailand beyond the bank statement? I'm preparing for such a scenario in case they ask since I don't have any income right now.

how important are recent payslips when you have a large amount of savings? I have not been working for the past 6 months as I have been travelling, but am looking to settle in Thailand and get more remote work. I have in the region of 10m baht in the bank but no recent income, other than savings interest. Is this likely to be a problem?

Hey everyone!

I’m looking for some advice and hoping someone here might be able to help. I’ve already reached out to my country’s embassy, but it’s been 10 days, and I still haven’t heard back.

I’ve been working in the film production industry for about 15 years. On average I work 6-7 months and the rest of the time, I’m traveling. Lately, I’ve mostly spent that time in Thailand.

I’m thinking about applying for the DTV as a freelancer to take advantage of the 6 month tourist visa, but I’m not sure if my situation fits the requirements. My work is based on project contracts, and I get paid directly through payslips. I can provide proof of financial stability, like contracts from various production companies, payslips, and bank statements.

Since my job doesn’t always require me to be on set, I have weeks when I can work remotely during the prep phase, but I’m technically not considered a remote worker.

I’m not looking for a job in Thailand, I just want to live there for a few months a year while continuing my freelance work in my home country. I also have more than 500,000 THB in my bank account.

Has anyone here been in a similar situation and successfully applied for the DTV? I’d really appreciate any tips!

Hi team, I’m thinking of applying in Vietnam (HCMC) under the remote worker category. I don’t think I’ll be able to meet the deadline of in-person, so I’ll most likely apply online.

I have only just started this role recently, but have the full employment contract from an Australian based company that clearly states my work is remote. Is it common for the consulate to ask for payslips and if so, what duration of the payslips are required?

I meet every other requirement but worried about the potential proof of “x months” of payslips.

Also, any tips whatsoever would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
