What are the requirements for the DTV visa in Thailand regarding bank accounts and income?

@John *********

They have changed. You just haven't read the news. It's been a big news story in recent weeks. The USD 80,000 income requirement is gone. Period.

No, all of them have had this requirement removed. It's now about how much you have in assets, rather than income.

You don't even need 80K USD for the LTR visa anymore and it was never a requirement for the DTV. If it were, many folk wouldn't qualify for it.

Can I teach yoga in Thailand on a DTV visa while being hired by a foreign company?

Paul *******

Only if you're teaching in front of a screen, without any students physically present. That would be similar to teaching [any subject, such as English] online to students based outside of Thailand.

What are the requirements for proving accommodation for a visa application to Thailand from HCMC?

Paul *******

@Steve **************

The DTV is better than a multiple entry tourist visa. I don't think anyone is really upset by a DTV. They're more likely to scrutinize certain people for having been on visa exempt or tourist visa entries.
