Mr 5 Bank Accounts Not much countries have a tourist visa with loopholes to stay 5 year. The maximum stay on DTV is 360 days

I think numbwer 3 is enough, I never gave them more than one statement and they did not ask any questions.

If they are not happy with only number 3, they will give you a chance and ask what extra they need.

@Johanni ******

Sponsorship can be for the 500K in certain situations, but normally only for dependant visa with a letter from spouse, or for workcation with a letter from employer.

Apart from the 500K there should also be money somehow to live in Thailand, that is why they ask for income.

They will see you can care for yourself

@Ade *******

of course, they are interested in the money, not the work.

Mr 5 Bank Accounts No need to discuss this, the instructions are clear and maybe some embassies accept, but certainly a lot don't accept.

When it is just one click to transfer to a normal direct accessible account I would not take any risk.

Mr 5 Bank Accounts It just might work, but also chances it does not work, just because it is not exactly what they ask for, so you are taking a risk.

Anonieme deelnemer That means there is a penalty, so it is not free.

You can always ask if they accept.

If they accept they should also accept stock accounts, because you can sell stock also with a single click if you want.

If I were you I would not take risks and just put the money on a direct acces account.

Maybe you should give some more details, like nationality, duration of training, previous history in Thailand etc.

@Peter *******

If you think 180 days is stay long term I agree with you. But normally when you have a visa wherever in the world to live long term, there is no obligation at all to leave the country

Anonieme deelnemer 443 Some here seem not to understand that leaving and re-entering as many times is not the same as living in the country and only leaving for a few minutes or days. Wen that was the intention they would not make it necessary to leave the country at all.

Your remark about the single entry for 6 months as an alternative shows you really don't understand anything about visa.

They want to have digital nomads to visit the country several times in a 5 year period, that cannot be done with a single entry visa.

For foreigners that want to live in Thailand they already have the appropriate visa for a long time.
