I’ve been living in Thailand for some time now, and I support myself through passive income from property rentals and investments in stocks and funds. Although I don’t have a traditional job, I receive steady monthly income from these sources, which comfortably covers all my living expenses here.

I'm a little confused about how to explain to the visa officer that I have a sufficient and stable income to support my life in Thailand.

Yeah, that’s definitely a thing — and actually pretty common.

My Thai KBank account has been active for over nine years, with monthly deposits of at least 100,000 to 200,000 THB to cover daily expenses. Due to KBank’s limit on daily transfers for foreigners—which can’t exceed 50,000 THB—I’ve been keeping most of my funds spread across other bank accounts, none of which held over 500,000 THB. It wasn’t until a month ago, after consulting with the Muay Thai gym, that I started consolidating my money into one account.

I believe my transaction history should be solid, given the consistent and frequent activity. What I’m unsure about now is whether the Thai embassies in Hanoi or Bali strictly require the 500,000 THB to have been held in the account for three months straight. That’s the part I’m trying to clarify.
