Hey, just a question regarding applying for DTV from the UK

I’m looking to apply for DTV from my country of residence which is the UK

I see people being asked for HMRC documentation sometimes.

What is the reason for this? Is it to check that your income in your bank statements provided matches your self assessment or is it purely to see that you have been submitting your tax returns in general.

Can someone clarify from personal experience how strict they are to see how long the 500k baht has been sitting in the account? If I just put that money into the account, let’s say a few weeks before I applied. Would that be a red flag or am I overthinking things?

Also, how strict are they with the income per month for a part-time freelancing gig? I was thinking to compensate for the low income of the freelancing gig, I would show more than the ฿500,000.

Any advice appreciated.

Hey Folks,

I wanted to know one thing If I have funds equal to 5,00,000 THB but I took from my father as a gift and that transactions are really recent like last week so when exactly should I apply for DTV,

Also should I apply my own or hire any agency to apply my visa ?

I am a freelancer in india, I do IT services role for my all clients

Hi everyone

I applied for the Thailand DTV visa and I just received a request asking for copies of my last 3 payslips.

I’m a freelancer / independent contractor, so I don’t receive payslips. I issue monthly invoices and then receive the payments by bank transfer.

Has anyone been in the same situation?

Should I upload an explanation letter together with the invoices? Or what can I do

Hi everyone, I’m helping my 79-year-old mother apply for a Thai retirement visa. She receives about $1,200/month in U.S. Social Security.

Is the combination method (monthly income + partial bank deposit totaling 800,000 THB per year) still accepted?

If so, how does immigration verify the monthly income now? Do the funds need to be transferred into a Thai bank each month?

Thank you for any guidance.

I have read a comment here stating that embassy/consulates in the United States don't provide income certification. If that is in fact true, how does one certify they meet the income requirement? I receive both a pension from the state of California as well as social security. My income from these two sources combined is well above the income requirement for a non-o, non oa retirement Visa

I am TOTALLY confused, hope to move in a few months. SO! On a retirement visa O-A, I have the monthly income. Can I verify with US bank statements -- heard the Embassy no longer did verification. And when I get to Thailand, open bank account & deposit 800,000THB?

and please, no snarky answers like I've had on other sites.. thanks

Simply put, i’m here on exemption, i’d like to go non O, i’m old enough, i have the cash, the apartment/accommodation Tm30, also have the monthly income, thai cell phone and the health insurance. What I don’t have is a bank account yet. What is the legitimate legal process for someone who would like to stay longer than 90 days? Another visa type? I’m trying to avoid leaving and returning however it seems impossible? Not keen on using anyone else for possibly getting red taped somewhere in the future, and it’s just more effective doing it myself, opinions? Thank everyone!

If I send 80k a month for 12 months from UK to k bank will a statement from k bank be accepted by immigration as the income from abroad over 65k for extension of retirement visa.

Got a request for these two documents for my Hanoi workcation dtv application

I’m a freelance worker with over $17,000(500k+ tbh) in income the past three months. Recent bank statement, I input three months of bank statements demonstrating over 500,000 in my savings account for my September October and November statements(still waiting for my bank to give me my December statement). So not too sure what I should add for my bank statements?

For the second thing that they requested, I am a freelancer working for myself, and I specified this in my cover letter, describing the work I do and how I attract my clients etc, so I’m unsure of how to demonstrate “business registration for the company I’m working for “sent them a contract with one of my clients for 900 usd, payments from over a dozen clients clients, some of which were 1000 usd+, etc through Zelle, PayPal and Venmo, as well as advertisements that I attract my clients through.

I was denied in the us for dtv soft power so I really don’t want to be denied again! Please help in any way, thank you.
