Anonymous participant than for them to ask you this stuff just does not make any sense. I would follow with a nice email asking them how they expect you to have this info citing the information you are writing here. My income comes from outside of thailand . I dont have any thai clients etc and i think you should be fine. I think i misread your post so i apologize. It really does not make any sense to request this info. What post did you apply if you dont mind me asking 🙏

The thais always figure it out if you give them time and i anticipate the change to be EXTREME as per the whole dtv thing. I trully feel the MFA had good intent when they created this visa. But they did not take into consideration the costs and trouble other visas offer . I have seen countless of cases people switching to DTV even when they dont qualify as they want to save the complexity they face with other products. At this point i dont see nobody going to investment , priviledge even retirement has more requirements and a financial requirement that you must keep for the entire duration of the visa. EVERYONE IS GOING AFTER DTV we might even have some thai people give up their citizenship and sign for some soft power etc its crazy 🤣

next come an interface where they have to upload classes to justify and remain “in status” it wont be pretty but again this is what i think will happen. It will make alot of folks mad i anticipate. Paying for classes why ITS NOT FAIR and than the whining as of why just explain me why they have to change rules all of the sudden its coming . Lets hope in wrong 🤣

@Peter ********
soon my man once they see all the madness this has created they willl make adjustments just look at what happened to the banks. From one day to the other “NO MORE BANK ACCOUNTS”. My 2 cents 🙏

@James *******
yes i recommended myself as the owner and my company pays me a salary every month. They are looking into the financials looking for structure to justify the financial requirement

@Rob *****
true and there will be a check options to “maintain people in status” just give them time the thais always figure it out

@Greg *******
it has the less abuse as they really go deep into the financials of the applicants. With the soft options you could go for cooking school for a month and potentially stay in thailand for 5 years . I really dont think this is sustainable at least not in its current form 🙏
