Wondering if anyone knows if immigration in Bangkok or Hua Hin is accepting the current affidavit of income from Canadian Consulate as proof of income? TIA

Hello, I want to retire in Thailand in the korat area at the end of this year, looking at the financial requirements for a retirement visa or I believe the other option is a non o visa for a year and then extend it for another year and in that time deposit 65,000 or more into a Thai bank account, would this work or do I have to stump up the 800,000 , no intention of getting married at the moment, have friends in Korat who have married and built their own houses, love the area and the friendly people

I don’t know whether to go and use an agent to simplify the process and I’m not sure if this is hundred percent legal, is there any comeback on using an agent, Thai government websites say that if you can prove from your pension provider that you have over 65,000 baht per month paid into a Thai bank account then this negate the need for the 800,000, I’m not sure what to believe because my friends are telling me that no bank or pension provider in the UK will certify this, confused

Looking to apply in Hanoi as a remote worker. I recently started working remotely for a company based in Singapore and have all the required documents and 500K in my bank account.

As I just started this job though, and was previously travelling and had no income, I am worried of what will happen if they ask for 6 moths of payslips (which I have seen mentioned on this group a few times). Is it likely they will ask for proof of past income? Or will a contract and letter from employer with my current salary suffice?

I have a few questions about the proof of savings of 500k for the DTV visa.

Some seem to provide 3 months of bank statements & some 6. How many months are actually officially required?

If your savings are held in different accounts and you transfer them into the same account, how long do you have to show the full 500k in that account for them to accept it?

Another option of financial proof seems to be payslips. If you own a business and invoice clients weekly, would that be acceptable?

Do they accept proof of a certain monthly income rather than 500k savings?

Or weekly income paid by clients into a personal bank account?

Thanks

Question about DTV as a business owner

I'm the owner/sole shareholder of limited liability corporation. I don't take a salary from my company.

Even though I can provide all the necessary paperwork and show 500K THB in the bank, I'm concerned that the lack of regular documented income from my company may be an issue because that seems to be a requirement for many other DTVs.

Do they usually ask business owner applicants for proof of income?

I'm planning to apply in Penang, but I'm open to other locations if anyone has recommendations.

Any input would be much appreciated 🙏

Is bank statement with 500k THB enough? Or are salary slips + bank statement with 500k mandatory?

Asked a question a while back about the bank statement to prove monthly income. Someone said you had to choose "for long term visa" as the transfer reason. There was some other input.

These are the options. None talk about visa. Thoughts?

EDIT: this is a wire from an E-Trade account.

Hi everyone!

I'm a musician and I would like to apply for DTV visa, is it possible?

Thanks for your help 🙏🏻

I just wanted to share my experience with the Taipei office for a DTV visa for the workcation path. I own my own business in the US and do have a contract with a customer and 6 months of payment history into my bank account. I got there at 9am and was done by 10:15am. Came back at 3pm to pay for the visa or provide more documentation. They just asked me for the money! So approved and pick it up tomorrow at 4.

I will say that the #1 thing they care about is proof of payments or proof of income from your business. So make sure you have proof of income or you will have a hard time getting approved. Like the person in the next booth. I had to remind them to verify my 500,000k account lol.

And a big FYI. Only give them what they ask for. I forgot to pull some documents I had printed out in case they asked for them and this confused them allot. I told them I did not intend to give the documents to them but they would not return them, so a long explanation was needed. Also if you are from the US you need to explain to them the date format in USA is (mm/dd/yyyy).

From what I saw while I was there from other people applying while I was there (5 or 6). The soft power applicants seemed to get processed with less questions than remote workers. They ask allot questions to remote workers/freelancers so be advised.

There is no notification of them changing to E-Visa system any time soon. Also it is cold and cloudy here now so be prepared 11-16c. Thanks to the group for another successful application!

Documents requested (in order of importance)

Business tax id, business registration (with your name on it somewhere100% needed)

6 mo Bank statements with payments from customers in your business account

Contract with a customer

Employer letter

6 mo 500,000 baht account. And they will ask you to show them in the office on your bank app that you still have the money.

Can someone tell me what will work at immigration non o marriage visa for proof of 40,000 baht per month income instead of the 400,000 in thai bank?
