Hello everyone,

I want to apply for a DTV visa for Thailand, but I have a few questions.

My current residence is in Canada, but my available funds and bank account are in France, the country where I was born. I’m wondering if having my bank account in a different country from my residence could cause any issues with my application.

If I go to Vietnam and apply from there using my French passport and my bank in France, do you think that could work better?

When I was living in Canada, I had to renew my French passport at the French Consulate in Vancouver in Canada. On my passport, my residence is listed as my Canadian address. Could this be a problem ? Thank you for your advice!
Answer summary
The poster inquires about the implications of applying for a DTV visa for Thailand while residing in Canada but maintaining a bank account in France. They also wonder whether applying from Vietnam using their French passport would be a better option given their residency status. Comments suggest that having a bank account in a different country shouldn't pose problems, but highlight that applying from Vietnam may take longer than applying from Canada, where processes are reportedly faster.

It is no problem having your bank account in a different country. The big difference is how long it takes when applying in Vietnam as opposed to Canada. Thousands of people apply in Vietnam. It can be considerably faster applying in Canada.
