Hoping to get some help/guidance with my prospective DTV.

I've been looking into ways where I can live and work from Thailand, I hit every qualifying point on the LTR visa except the minimum individual income requirements, I don't make $80,000 USD per year individually myself.

The DTV seems like the way, except it seems a bit confusing or I've been getting some contradicting information on it:

• I live and work in Canada currently (Canadian Passport Holder)

• My company trades on a major stock exchange and is headquartered in USA. It does allow me to work remotely.

• The company I work for has "entities" and cost centers it can open from various locations globally where it can allow me to transfer to and work from.

• Although I don't yet have $22,000 CAD saved to show in my bank (500K THB equivalent), I should be able to come up with this in short order - likely by April.

The issue or contradicting information I'm running into is whether I'd be able to qualify for the DTV based on my company credentials. As mentioned above, the company has "global entities" and cost centers they would open up for various locations globally. Currently the company does have a position they could transfer me to and have me work from the APAC (Asia-Pacific) Region. They would open a "cost center" for me in Thailand, and essentially I would be getting paid in THB while working remotely in Thailand. This is where I believe the trouble is, as in order to qualify for the DTV, the income I'm making would need to be coming from _outside_ of Thailand - is this correct? And if so, what signifies or defines that exactly? Income sent to my Canadian Bank account (regardless of what currency it's being deposited as)? A work certificate stating that I'm a Canadian citizen working for a USA corporation being paid in Canadian dollars versus THB?

I probably didn't explain the situation as best as I could here so please feel free to ask any clarifying questions to help guide me along with this 😊

I will also use this time to ask for any leads to a well respected agency that could help with my DTV application if anyone knows - thank you in advance!

HCMC VisaDTV info and more questions than answers after emailing them.

1 document showing transactions and 1 document showing statement of 500k, wouldn’t 1 bank statement be enough? I have asked them but no reply in two week. HCMC

Also - my (Wise) bank statement is about 10 pages in a pdf, is it possible to upload this like the way it is 10+ pages?

You guys said I couldn’t get it in Taipei 🙂 but I did. DTV acquired.

It’s a same day turn around depending on your paperwork. They will DEFINITELY interview you and grill you as they aren’t as lenient as people say

At least not for me.

I ended up providing my financial statements of 6 months in one bank account

Invoices from TikTok and Meta plus entertainment contracts.

Articles in the media showing that I have performed with major celebrities

And I had to login / show my Instagram and TikTok account proving I do what I do for work

And they denied the medical soft power due to them not being able to find the doctor on the website so whatever

Hello for my bank statements from America does the full accounts numbers need to be visible? Seems like too much info or can I just leave last 4 numbers? It's a u.s. bank do I need to convert dollars to baht on paper or no need? Thank you

Just had my DTV approved. Remote work as a day trader (Stocker Trader). I applied through the New York office in US (online) as I am American. I submitted most recent bank statement showing adequate funds, a cover letter explaining I was self employed working for myself and listing my additional attachments of the following to show this - trades year to date (2 individual brokerage accounts), my most recent monthly brokerage statements for each account, the most recent crypto statement for the one account I have crypto in, and my last years tax return. I was never asked for any further paperwork. My status went from pending document approval, right to pending final approval a day later, then reverted back to pending document approval around 10 business days into the process, where it stayed for 1 day before returning to pending final approval. It took exactly 15 business days (As was listed on the website). There were not any data points I could find for this type of remote work anywhere, so I was pleasantly surprised to get approved. I do have a very good passive income which allows me to travel and also explained this in my cover letter (its supported by my tax return). I put all of this all in one pdf and compressed it to submit on the webpage. Hope this helps others.

Thank you all for your information about marriage extension documents. I have another thing I would like to get your thoughts on. I have had over the required 400,000 baht in my bank account for over two months but, one week ago when it was small was late at night and I was tired. I was moving my from one account to the other. I accidentally moved too much money out of 400,000 baht, bringing a little bit lower than the required 400,000 baht. 

I was stunned when I realised what I had done and I immediately put the money back in bringing it back over 400,000 baht. So it can be seen on my statement that the account went below the required amount for less than one minute. I assume/hope that will not be a big issue.
