Hello Guys I am preparing my documents and I am confused about one thing.

Your money is in your current account or invest account?

Can my 500k THB be in my invests?

Hi All, I'm new to the group.

I’m applying for a Thai non O-A visa. [members only]

One of the requirements is to provide a ”Recent bank statement for the last three months showing the applicant's name and ending balance of no less than $30,000 or proof of monthly income of not less than $2,500/month) along with the current bank statement showing incoming income”. I meet the $2,500/month requirement, though I only had the $30,000 for two months.

The doubt is that I usually keep the vast majority invested and not in a bank account.

Would it be beneficial to include a formal document from my investment account that indicates the total amount invested? The amount is significantly higher than the requirement, amounting to 800,000 baht.

Should I wait an additional month to submit my application?

I already rented a place to live. Should I provide a copy of the documentation from the home lease?

Is the application process based solely on uploading documents to the website or are the documents mailed to the embassy?

Thank you in advance.

PS: I already have Thai health insurance, completed the background check, the health certificate, a copy of my passport, and recent photos. My lease starts August 15.

Hey yall with the money in the bank requirement. I have it but it’s in investment accounts. Do I have to pull my money out to season it in a checking account for 3 months? Before applying or can I just show them an investment account?

Hello group,

LTR/WP Health Insurance Waiver Question: I have a lot more than $100k sitting uninvested in two brokerage accounts for more than 12 month, it fetches some interest income. Do you think BOI accept this to waive the mandatory health insurance ? I was not sure because money is at a stock brokerage firm but not used to purchase shares for more than 1 year.

Question About Financial Evidence for DTV

Hi everyone, I hope you're all doing well. I’m currently preparing my financial evidence for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) application, and I wanted to clarify something.

The requirement is to show an amount of at least 500,000 THB, and I understand this can be done through bank statements or a sponsorship letter.

However, I have investments in a bank account. Even though these funds are not liquid, should I mention these investments in my bank statement as part of the financial evidence, or are only liquid funds required to be shown?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Please could someone clarify exactly what this means, they have asked me for more info:

A deposit account shows the transactions last 6 months and the account balance or a combination of a deposit/saving account totaling not less than 500,000baht. Stock/Crypto/Bitcoin/Investment/Business/PayPal account and sponsor are not accepted

I previously sent them a statement from a brokerage trading account showing over 500k thb of assets. Do I have to sell my investments and transfer the cash to a checking account, and then show the latest statement from that? Is 1 month ok or do they need 6 months? Alternatively can I leave the cash in my brokerage account and just submit that? Thanks in advance.

For the past 6 months, I have had over the required amount in a TFSA (tax free savings account). Would this technically qualify as proof of "bank" statements? It's a TFSA managed under a private wealth and asset management company in Canada. I'm so new to this. Thanks for your input guys.

Hi, does the 500,000 baht have to be in a current account? I have an ISA trading account with the right amount of cash in it plus investments but it only gives statements every quarter so I can’t give statements from every month in the past 6 months - will this be a problem/ will they accept this?

Hello everyone,

I hope this post is okay here, even though it’s not directly about the DTV Visa. I’m seeking advice on investing in mutual funds or ETFs in Thailand as a DTV Visa holder. I have Krung Thai Bank account and I found some mutual funds there but it might need to open mutual funds account.

Are there others here in a similar situation? For context, I’m from Asian Country not from Europe or US just from Myanmar and currently living in Thailand. I’d like to know about the policies, tax implications, and options available for someone with my visa type.

I’m planning to invest a portion of my monthly income and would greatly appreciate any insights or experiences you can share or get some advice.

Thank you!

Destination Thailand Visa

Hi Everyone, Im currently applying for my DTV visa and was looking for some help if anyones in a similar case to me.

1. In regards to financial evidence, am I able to provide a invesment account statement?. I use wealthsimple and have monthly statements. I Have they money but its not liquid in my regular bank account as I invest it.

2. In regards to "Employment contract or employment certificate in their country or professional portfolio showcasing digital nomad, remote worker, foreign talent or freelancer status" I currently run a bunch of youtube channels and thats my job. Is there any other youtubers in here who have filled this out?

Youtube doesnt give contracts as we are essentially freelancers and are paid through Google adsense. However, I do have sponsorship contracts with companies. If anyone can help, I will love you forever.

Thanks in advance!
