Has anyone applied for the freelancer visa with the 500,000 baht but no freelance income recently and got approved ?

Does anyone have experience with or know of any embassy rejecting a DTV application due to low income as a remote worker? I have a bank balance exceeding 500,000 THB and a part-time contract. As far as I know, this visa's approval does not depend on income, but I’m concerned that the embassy might focus on the low salary and reject the application based on that.

I have a question regarding DTV. As of this Summer my spouse will officially be retiring from the military. His retirement and VA disability is more than enough to live off of in Thailand which is where I will be for my internship. I’m a full time student getting a degree in ESL with a focus on teaching Thai students specifically. I can stay in Thailand on my education visa during my internship but the husband and kids will be coming with me. He is too young for a retirement visa and he’ll need to be a stay at home parent since our kids need online schooling. Does the retirement income and VA income count towards a DTV? I’ve heard conflicting answers on expat pages so I figured I would try here.

Hello,

I am hoping to plan a move to thailand in 2025, I have a remote job for which I net over 3000cad/month.

I dont have the saving requirements that I saw online. Is it possible to get a long term visa without having those savings I saw online?

Thanks,

Do we need 6 month of income? I have worked for the same company for 5 months now.

Hello!

I work seasonally (May - October) so I'm unemployed currently (until May 2025) but I also have a rental property which I can show income for for the past couple of years.

I also have much more than the 500,000 baht needed in my bank account and have for years.

Is this enough to be considered for the workation option for the DTV? I'd rather not sign up for classes as I like to travel around thailand during my 6 months here per year.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone had experience with the soft DTV from London / UK??

how many monthly statements did you need to provide for the 500k thb, and does the soft dtv also have the same income requirements as the full remote worker dtv?

I was considering an Ed visa for muay thai but this seems a much better option with multi-entry..

what if i have 500k in my account, transfer from yesterday, but for the last six months i haven't had any money in my account? i took time off from work.

I'm considering to apply in Taipei but based on some posts in this group, they are requesting showing income deposits / payslips from your employer. I even saw the same requirements on the updated Jakarta embassy website.

I just started my remote role in November and was unemployed for a while before that, so I won't have any income deposits on my bank statements when I apply there next week.

Any advice? Do you think I'll be okay given my start date, or anything else I should mention / provide? Thanks all!

Just a heads up for people that want to apply for Soft Power Muay Thai option in Taipei. A receipt is not enough for confirmation. You need a letter from the gym showing when you will attend, the gym's muay Thai license, and company registration. Make sure you gym is certified by the Sports Authority of Thailand. The requirements on the site are not up to date. They will ask for 3 months of banking statements along with your income even if it's soft power. I hope this saves someone else time.
