I'm a digital nomad that has been traveling on tourist visas and surviving on less than THB 500k for the last few months. At the end of this month, I will receive a "top-up" that puts me over the 500k requirement for the DTV.

Am I not eligible for DTV until I have 3+ months of bank statements showing that amount in my account?

I read some posts in this group where people mention writing a cover letter of sorts to explain your situation. Perhaps that could improve my chances.

Maybe sponsorship is the better approach. I will be applying at the embassy in Hanoi.

Any advice is much appreciated.

Hi everyone, I’m a bit confused about the 500k baht financial requirement for the DTV.

Do I need to show a bank statement with 500k baht maintained for the past 3 months, or can I use payslips/client invoices to prove I have the equivalent income?

Applied via softpower in HCM. They are requesting for proof of income. I thought they dont check for proof of income for softpower?? I did muay thai btw

Can you edit the application at the embassy? I put the place of issue as Shanghai since this is where the passport was issued. Doesn't make sense to me that I would need to put America because it's an American passport, they know it came from America. Same with any other country. Why have that on there if the answer is just the country of the passport?

It's a holiday here so no one will look at it until Monday. So I plan to go there first thing in the morning to change it.

the rules have changed in hong kong now you need a bank statement of at least 19000 € before it was 15000 €???

I just calles the Thai embassy in Madrid and they told me that I cannot have a sponsor and it should be me the one who has these 500k in the bank.

Does anyone know more about this?

Could this be possible even tho in the website it says I can have a sponsor?

Thank you for the answers

Is this really a common thing? I have multiple accounts from interest accounts, to savings, to investments.

Unfortunately over all the accounts, none of them for six months will show 500,000 baht. But joint together, there is a lot more than 500,000 baht in my currency.

Is it going to be a problem?

Dear friends,

I would like to know that when you show bank statement balance for(500,000) for DTV,

Is have to be from foreign account? Or

Is Thai bank account ok?

I am currently in Thailand. I have Thai bank account which I was opened with tourist visa, 2 months ago.

Thank you very much

Hey guys do I really need to show them a bank statement of the last 6 months? I mean on their website they never asked for the payslip of the last 6 months . Or do they?

Can I open a bank account today, perform multiple transactions, and issue a bank statement to apply for for a visa next week? Is that possible?
