# 😕2 months payslips + signed contract + strong savings. Enough?

Planning to apply for DTV (Workcation) from Sydney in January. Wanted to get a sanity check from people who've been through it.

My situation:

* Australian passport, applying from Sydney

* Left my job in March (career break)

* Signed consultant agreement starting January 2025 (remote)

* 2 months of freelance income (September and December) via PayPal

* Savings 2-3x above the 500K THB requirement

* 7 years professional background (consulting).

My concern: I see 6 months of payslips listed as a requirement. I don't have that but I have strong savings and a signed contract.

Has anyone been approved with less than 6 months payslips if savings and contract were solid?

Also considering Soft Power (Muay Thai) as a backup but would prefer Workcation as I want to test gyms out when I am actually there. But if that's the better play, I can consider it.

Appreciate any insights.

Cheers.

I just received my DTV yesterday at like 5:45pm from HCM . I applied Nov 27 , received Dec 12.

Was requested more docs day 1.5.

The whole thing gave me anxiety toward the end. I waited in HCM first 12 days and was going crazy . Flew to Dalat and wish I had gone sooner. I would reccomend to go travel and be patient. Dalat is incredibly beautiful place . I was well qualified for the DTV and had what I needed. I’ve never over stayed never even once in over 20 years visiting my favorite country of Thailand.

This was muey thai DTV.

Provided Savings account ( 6 months of statements) 3 times more than min.

They still asked for proof of income or am I unemployed .

They wanted a Letter explaining how I will support myself and what I will do beyond 6 months coarse .

And yes every passport page with time date stamps and all pages even blanks , as others have mentioned.

I have rental income from

My home Country enough to support myself and I showed 6 months of checking account deposits in addition to the 6 months statements of savings account .

I explained all that they asked in a nice professional letter.

Good luck people

S/EA consulates which accept brokerage statements

Hello, I’ve read about there being a hard rule with the proof of funds being required to be in a checking account. But as some consulates seemingly require different lengths of proof of funds, perhaps some are more willing to accept brokerage statements? Barring volatile assets, I currently have about 80k usd in mmf us government bonds (which has been held for longer than 3 months) and about 18k usd in a checking account for maturing in case securities aren’t allowed.

Thank you for your time and assistanceg

For showing proof of funds - does it matter if it's a joint account with two names? (Someone told me that for a retirement visa, that means you'd have to prove double the amount)...

If I'm applying for soft power DTV, and I have a joint checking account with my father which shows a balance of a little over 500K, will that be adequate?

If

If I have a money market account with a debit card and a checkbook does anyone know if this can count as money that needs to be shown as available in the bank for the DTV?

Hello, it is possible to show the investment account for financial proof for 500k THB? or better I move my money from the investment to saving account ? Do they accept if I do that in one transection? Thanks 🙏🏼

American here, applying via Washington embassy. I’m being asked to provide a bank statement for the month of November. Unfortunately for the period my bank statement is generated, I am below the $16000 limit. However, I have an account balance form that shows proof of funds above the limit for this month.

I’m wondering if this will be accepted instead of an official bank statement, and if anyone has tried this before

DTV 500k

As it states 500k in bank within the last 3 months only problem is I always divide my wage into stock ISA

I definitely have the funds just wondering if any one was in the same boat as me and just transferred the money into back account and you explain the situation?

Hi, how do you show a bank statement for 3 months when the money is in different deposits within the same bank?

Hii want to ask , regarding bank statement ..

Question is how do i can get it translated to english ?

Note : my monthly statement is too much like 160-170 pages in 1 month so kinda not visible for me to translate it manual

Any help appreciated , thankyou
