Anonymous participant unfortunately I don’t know how that works so no help here.

@Marb *******

wow. Did you read my comment?

That would tell you everything you asked me.

Stocks don’t count. Needs to be cash in a personal account.

Don’t know your setup or country but if there is a company as trustee for the trust you could use that to provide the documents required for workcation DTV

The DTV sounds like good option for you if you have your documents in order it’s pretty straight forward. I did it in Sydney under workcation. I used a step by step guide.

@Euan ********

it’s a bit of a chicken and egg situation. The visa didn’t exist so people didn’t know how to stay long term. Now it exists and gets promoted by the Thai government and you are saying people doing it for the visa 🤷‍♂️

@Robert ******

it is not always a point of view. It is from people who successfully got the DTV with funds in the account for less than 3 months.

Not every embassy requires this.

However it is worth noting that the e visa site mentions this.

It’s also worth noting that this is a Facebook group and not everyone is telling the truth or sometimes has a wild imagination 😜

Which Muay Thai gym? Did you get proper paperwork from the gym. Did you pay for the for the course and supplied payment confirmation with your application?

You could book a fully refundable flight, get the confirmation and use this for proof of travel. You can then cancel or rebook the flight you actually want.

You can apply 3 months before you want to travel to Thailand so should be easy enough to pick a day that suits.

Or maybe apply once you sold the house and use the settlement period to apply for the DTV.

6 months Proof of residence sounds unrealistic. We only had a 10 night hotel reservation.

It’s got cover letter templates checklists document assembly instructions and more all in one pdf. Saved me heaps of time scrolling around to find the info.

If he applied in the UK ha has to stay there until the visa application has been determined
