Good day! Tried to search Google first, so be kind …

Please help me with the confusion - retirement visa for Thailand at the age of 50. Do I need to have some monthly income (1850 USD per Google)? Obviously, at 50 years old I won’t be collecting my social security yet … is there a way to get retirement visa based on bank accounts balance or any trick around? Can I pay myself that darn 1850USD each month?

I have funds (sold all the assets in US) but not at retirement age yet

Thanks for your advice

Ps. Not 50 yet, not for a long while BUT already looking into my options outside of the US and EU

I wish to retire to Thailand later this year. From UK, I’ll be depositing 800,000 in Bangkok Bank. My gf says they told her I just need my proof of accommodation (TM30?). Then I wait 2 months with proof of funds before applying for the year extension.

Does this sound like a plan ?

Please be nice. Some of you guys can be big meanies 😂😂😂

Hi everyone! I plan on moving in July and just wanted some feedback as to how early should I start my DTV? Is applying now too early or should I wait till like a month out?

Yahoo!!! Just got approved for my DTV visa!!

🩵🇹🇭🌴☀️😎🙌🥳💃🏽🕺🏻🚨🔥🚨🔥🧉🤿🐠

Applied Embassy Washington DC. After one week asked for additional paperwork. This included tax returns and a letter stating self-employed as digital nomad.

Two weeks to the date, today received the approval.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. The process is very straightforward. Just in time for my flight leaving in 10 days🙌 

Successful DTV, step by step guide - Hope this will help

- application from Cambodia

- Digital nomad route

Initial application submitted in the last days of December, with pdf of the entry visa stamp and the usua passport info

On Jan 8th I got a request for additional docs, namely evidence of funds and company/contract docs

I submitted the following - cover letter explaining in short bullet points the contents of supporting documents

1. Bank statement from my bank account in my home country (3 months) showing a balance on 07-01-2025 of XXXXX €

2. Conversion of that amount in $ ($XXXX) plus pdf conversion page generated by XE online exchange

3. ABA bank statement, january 2025 (cambodian bank account with more than the 500k bath, a bit of an overkill but I thought better too much than not enough)

4. Employment certificate by my company AND employment contract, both signed by me, with a link to the company website and a short explanation of the company business.

5. Company incorporation document (with my name on as the GM)

6. General Assembly report, december 24, listing the 3 shareholders including myself. I was a tad worried as doc 5 and 6 were not in English but the highlighted parts with my name were clear enough

7. Proof of salary (XXXX€/month) paid by my company to my private account for the last 6 months

Altogether a smooth and efficient process, and they do work on weekends as my status became "approved" on Sunday afternoon.

t looked like a safer long term option to me than the soft skill route (easier to get presumably) as nobody really knows what further steps or evidence might be requested in the future, if/when they decide to tighten the screws on extensions

I would like (if I may) to recommend a friendly and affordable place to stay for the couple of weeks it took. I got a comfy large appartment a couple of minutes away by tuk tuk from the lively Russian market, called La Belle Residence , they made my stay as enjoyable as it could be. Please contact the guys next to my name for more info if yo think of going to Cambodia. They'll throw in a free airport transfer which was a nice touch.

Any numbers on approved DTVs? I heard through November 50,000. So, I guess 60K+. Did they have a goal? It should be well over 100K in first year. Is there a breakdown by nationality? I was reading it was China 1 and Malaysia 2. Interesting but the us the same as the tourist visiting too.

Hello everyone, for the accommodation part, on the DTV visa, the adress or hotel name we mention, can it be a temporary one or it needs to be a permanent one ? Will they check ?

Hi , I would like to ask if I need a work permit if I am monetised on YouTube and I intend to live In Thailand making YouTube films ,

My friend is in Malaysia but far from Kuala, can he still apply for DTV visa online or must move to the capital ? Thanks

I want to apply for a DTV from Canada through Soft Power (Muay Thai). What is the minimum Muay Thai training requirement to be approved? Would 6 months of training once a week be sufficient?
