I have the DTV and only had to provide a simple statement showing 500k thb in the bank, no need for 'good history of fund movements'.

if all you are doing is managing your properties outside of Thailand I don't think you need a work visa.

@Sergey ************

do you really have to? is it specified somewhere? (sorry, jumping on the thread here)

That's crazy documents. I applied online in the US, I went through soft power and only had a medical certificate letter stating I had a follow up appointment.

@Stephen ****

you do have to pop in and out of the country to reset the 180 day, so there's that...

@Bryant ****

post says 'online' :)

@Jeff *******

wouldn't they say so..? how long did it take you, and from which location embassy did you apply from?

AIS (green) or True Mobile (red). You'll be able to use them as personal hotspots.

How much was your visa application? is it 400 usd which equates to 14k thb?

definitely take LOTS of photos of all the small details. Create a LINE app chat and share the photos with the landlord / agent. Things like stains on the walls, scratches on the floor (if wooden), dents and dings on the doors. Some things you won't notice until you finally move in, keep sending these to the chat so both parties have a time stamp of shared photos.

Ask when the AC was last cleaned, if it's a year lease then it should have been cleaned before you move in.

Also (and I haven't tried this yet) it could be good to ask the landlord how much of the deposit they returned back to their last renter and what it was related to. Just getting whatever answer they give back to you should clue in as to how honest they might be.
