TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, numerous users have reported successfully using a Wise account as proof of 500,000 Thai baht for the DTV visa application at different embassies. However, it may depend on the specific embassy's policies, as Wise is not a traditional bank. Some users shared their experiences, indicating that they were able to use their Wise accounts in various locations including Hanoi and Athens.

Some appear to have had success with it but it's not a bank so probably depends on the embassy

you can have a real bank account in wise. So it is actually a bank. Wise is just infront of the bank. But you have everything else a „normal“ bank account has because behind wise there is a bank if you request a bank account on wise. Not compared to just a deposit like for example PayPal.

not works for us. But works for euro. Also chf for example you can‘t open a real bank account

@Robin ***********
no you can't. Wise is not a bank. You can have an account in Wise which behaves like a bank but that doesn't make it a bank. Its not regulated in the same way as banks

@John *********
you are wrong. If you open a euro account you have a real bank account within a real bank. It is regulated exactly the same. You see it if you check your bank account if you did open one. You are a customer of a real bank. You can even call them or go there in person if you like to.

there's a big difference between being a regulated bank and Wise "safeguarding" your money
