How can I successfully apply for a DTV Visa in Thailand while working remotely?

I succesfully obtained my DTV Visa in Jakarta using Tiger Eye Muay Thai and MMA gym for my soft power application. They were very helpful with providing all the necessary documents needed and open with answering questions!

I applied sunday night, Monday it went to status pending approval and Wednesday it was approved without a request for additional documents. (3 business days processing)

I provided 6 months of tx history even if I read that people got accepted with 1 month history and I put 600K THB equivalant (EUR) on my bank instead of 500K just to be sure. (The majority of the money was transfered to my main account a couple of days to a week before applying because I didn't have it on 1 account)

Important concerns I had before applying:

* Can you have a job outside of thailand while applying with softpower - Answer is yes. I work remotely (not that the TH gov knows) and they approved my application. I chose this route to save myself hassle.

* Can I prefill my application while in thailand and submit it once abroad - Yes.

* Do I need to show the proof of finances on the day of submission - No, I printed the pdf of my statements 2-3 days before submission but the closer towards submission date the better I'd say.

* I used [members only] to translate my bank statements to english. Way better than google translate!

Good luck if you're still applying!

I'm wondering if I have my 500k baht in investments, I can't move it over until 1 month before I leave ( it's actually 10m baht) . Will this be good enough, only 1 month before ?

1 month before is fine. As I said, I moved the sufficient amount only days to a week before applying but you have to obviously keep the 500K on your account until your application is submitted (and I'd keep it until you're inside thailand with your DTV tbh)

it depends on the embassy you are applying through. Discussed and reiterated ad nauseum in this group almost daily
