Hi,,Not sure if anyone can answer this in here,but I try anyway.

For a thai to get visa to go to Germany,,,the requierments I think I understand,,but this one has been arrested at least 2 times for fighting,,violence,,,is due to meet in court this month,but dont want to go,,,

Can this be a reason for denial of visa?

The proof of money ,,,does it have to be in thai account,,,or is it enough with an invite letter and guarranty from german citizen?

TLDR : Answer Summary

A history of arrests and unresolved legal issues, like not wanting to attend a court case, can raise concerns about the applicant's intent to return to Thailand, potentially affecting their visa application negatively. Additionally, questions about proof of funds can vary; it's important to clarify if the financial evidence needs to be in a Thai bank account or can be supplemented with an invitation letter and guarantee from a German citizen.

With many visas for western counties, it comes down to proof that the individual will return to their home country. If you say he/she doesn’t want to go to their court case, that is a red flag that they might be less

Likely to return, trying to get away from legal trouble.

However, multiple arrests could be a separate dealbreaker. Does the application asks for those details?
