Hello all!

Anyone recently apply through the CHICAGO consulate for a DTV visa with a bank statement of less than 3 full months of $16,000 in your account?

The requirements listed on the Chicago Consulate website for the DTV aren't clear if it's necessary to have 3 full months, or if a shorter time is fine as long as you meet that $16k minimum.

All it says is *"a copy of a recent saving or checking bank statement with an ending balance of no less than 500,000 THB or ($16,000)".*

I'm hoping I can apply with 2 months and not have any issues but would love any input or data points from other's recent experience with the CHICAGO consulate.

Thank you!

I did mine through Chicago and only used one months statement but the amount was quite a bit above the minimum. Also I was one of the early ones to get it so requirements may have changed. The only additional thing they asked for was a copy on my resume I guess to verify I had been working in my field for awhile.

If you go to the main DTV group on FB you can find Chicagoans approved as Brandon outlines.

Most embassies want 3 months of statements, but only the most recent one must show the required amount.
