You each need your own money, your own paperwork, your own everything. There are a number of consulates that don't require the money to have been in the account for any particular length of time, even though they ask for 3 months of statements it's the closing balance of the 3rd month that's important

you shouldn't get a Category A on the IDP for that. I guess the person issuing doesn't understand the difference.

The money must be in a personal account. Money in a business account belongs to the business and not you personally. They want to see 3 months of bank statements but only the final month needs to have the 500k baht showing. The problem you have is waiting for the statement to show that which might be the end of the month if that's when your bank generates statements

If you apply using soft power your DTV is approved for soft power not for workation. If you want to work remotely apply using the workation option.

Anonymous participant but does it say A on its own? AM is for a moped

My licence actually shows I have Category A which has no power output restrictions (rather than CC limits), I assume yours does too or you wouldn't get Category A on the IDP

Anonymous participant you mentioned earlier you didn't have an IDP which is frequently required. You also need a medical certificate from a clinic along with the residence certificate from immigration. Additionally some DLT offices want you to be on a Non-immigrant visa

Anonymous participant 518 no it doesn't, a DTV gets you stamped into Thailand for 180 days and is a tourist visa. It is not a visa designed for living in Thailand hence the lack of bank accounts
John **********
Anonymous participant you might be accepted for the car licence without an IDP but it will be up to the DLT office you use

@Jane **********
that's not true. You need a full UK bike licence as Thailand doesn't differentiate, so that's Category A only on the IDP, not a sub category
