FOR SYDNEY ONLY

Hi everyone,

Has anyone here applied for the DTV visa through the Thai Consulate in Sydney and had success when the 500,000 THB wasn’t sitting in their account for the full 3 months?

I do have a 3-month bank statement with the required funds, but the money hasn’t been there for 3 months straight. When I was enquiring to the people who were sorting out my Soft Power course, they mentioned it was recommended to hold it for 3 months but not a strict requirement.

Just wondering if anyone has been approved in the same situation. Appreciate any advice from people who’ve gone through it in Sydney!
Answer summary
The post inquires about the DTV visa application process at the Thai Consulate in Sydney, specifically regarding the requirement of holding 500,000 THB in a bank account for three months. The author has the required funds but hasn't maintained the balance for the full duration. Comments suggest that some applicants have been successful without strictly adhering to the three-month requirement, while others caution about potential rejection if criteria are not fully met.

You risk rejection and the the 10.000+ baht visafee, if the requirements are not fulfilled.
