Hi, I have a question regarding the proof of 500,000 THB.

I have read several times that the funds must be held in a private account.

I also saw information stating that if the account is officially a personal/private account in the applicant’s name, it is acceptable for the DTV Visa, even if customer payments are received on that account.

Is this correct?

My husband has two sole proprietorships, and the income from one of them is paid into his personal account. Could this be a problem?

As an alternative, would bank statements from Trade Republic also be accepted?

Thank you in advance for your feedback. :)

Statement Question;

I have a Mercury business account and stripe, of which most of the money I spend day to day is in here. Can this be used as the ‘6 month of statements’?

Secondly, is the best place to do it via Vietnam. I’m currently in 🇨🇳

Would be great to connect with someone who’s done it before

Hi everyone 👋

I’m currently in Hanoi and I want to submit my DTV (workcation) application today. I have a quick question about the “proof of funds”:

• Revolut account, last 3 months of statements. If I export all transactions, it’s 62 pages !

• Do the official monthly statements (1–2 pages each) in English showing my name + period + end-of-month balance ≥ 500,000 THB suffice?

• Or do they need all transaction pages?

Any recent experiences would be super helpful—thanks a lot 🙏

This one is for the Australians in the group, in relation to the Retirement Visa. May 2026

Option 1: I'm on a monthly pension that exceeds 65,000 Thai baht a month. Do I just need bank statements from my banking institution and a cover letter stating I'm on a life pension? I was looking at the 90-day non-immigrant visa to begin with.

Option 2: 800k Thai baht in an account. Can you access the funds after 3 months, as long as it's topped up by the following year?

Thankyou.

Hello everyone, regarding the DTV visa’s required bank balance and transaction statement, what format did you use? Do they need to be officially issued by the bank, or are mobile banking screenshots acceptable?Thank you for your reply.

Hello! I just got the documents from my Bank, all the statements. But it´s all in Spanish.. Do I need a professional translation service for all of this? right now I´m searching online here in BKK for different places to do this, I hope it´s not too expensive.. as soon as I get this translated I´ll travel to Hanoi to start my DTV process

Thanks

Canadian passport, considering applying for soft powerfrom Vietnam (so I can scope out gyms before choosing which one) as the Ottawa embassy is experiencing a large backlog.

I read a few months ago that the 500k proof needed to be "stamped by the bank" but when I did a "test" application, the site didn't specifically ask for it to be anything more than statements.

So I'm asking for clarification, can I just (CONDENSED ALL INTO ONE) the pdfs of the last 3 months of bank statements, proving the funds? Or do I need to get an official letter from the bank?

I have appreciated all the info the group has provided.

My application was rejected today in Ho Chi Minh. I plan to return to Thailand now, then go to Indonesia in seven days to reapply. Should I wait longer before reapplying? If anyone has tips, please comment 🙏

Sharing my full experience.

Background

Base: Traveled to Ho Chi Minh City to apply

Job: Senior Developer (remote)

Target: DTV (Workcation)

I’ve prepared my portfolio in a detailed, professional.

Oct 14: Submitted DTV application online

Oct 17: Consulate asked for more docs. (I already provided all my work details, and my company is fully legitimate—not a startup. The only things I didn’t include are the company’s history, vision, mission, products, and achievements. These seem like standard requests from them.)

* Other request documents: Please provide a business registration document showing the company name, the name of the legal representative, and a company profile that includes details about its history, vision, mission, products, and achievements.

Oct 27: Asked for more docs. (All documents are authentic. I’ve uploaded a company letter confirming the contract is in English only. They asked for an Oct 2025 statement with salary highlighted, but pay comes at month-end. So I uploaded Sep–Oct statements instead. I already highlighted salary and OT in 6 months and included all payslips from the beginning. I earn ~3,500/month (2,500 salary + OT + 5,000 for accommodation), I’ve already explained this but they keep focusing only on the 2,500).

* Financial evidence: an amount of no less than 500,000 THB, (e.g., bank statements for the last three months, sponsor letter): How have you managed your finances with a salary of 25,000 THB to have a balance of more than 520,000 THB in your account?

* Other request documents: Proide bank statement from Oct 2025 and highlight all the salary payments that you received.

* Other request documents: Provide employment contract in original language and a certified English translation of a document is a translation accompanied by a statement from the translator or a translation agency attesting to the accuracy and completeness of the translation.

* Other request documents: Provide proof of your current residency in Vietnam by submitting a selfie that shows the time and day (ACCEPT THE PICTURE THAT TAKEN ON 27 Oct 2025 ONLY) in the travel destination, a purchase receipt bearing your name and the date of purchase,..

Nov 3: Application refused. No detailed reason given yet.

Good morning, I have a question about proof of recurring income.

Does the proof need to be in the form of bank statements or will an end of year statement be acceptable?

The end of year statement lists income for the next coming year.

Can a direct relative's bank account be your proof of fund ?

Ex : Dad has more than 500kTHB and "sponsors" his son by showing his bank statements. I've understood this is possible through some posts here but I wonder if I got it all wrong. Seems nice, but almost too nice?
