Hi I’ve been living in Thailand for 4 years on non B visa and saved all my money (500000 THB) in my Kruingthai account I’ll be doing Muay Thai for 9 months if I get approved. The issue is that I don’t have any other bank account other than the Thai bank account. Will I get rejected ? Do I have to show an account with 500000ThB outside Thailand?
Answer summary
The individual is concerned about applying for a DTV visa to pursue Muay Thai training while holding 500,000 THB in a Thai bank account. There is confusion over whether the funds must be in a bank account outside Thailand for visa approval. Comments suggest that the funds can be in a Thai bank account, but proof of income and the legitimacy of the chosen Muay Thai school are also critical points for visa approval.

I guess you are planning to apply for a DTV based on attending a Muay Thai course. It doesn't matter which bank the 500k is in, you can also be asked to show how you will support yourself for the period of the visa

Quintin Van Der Mescht It can't be just any Muay Thai school especially one with misinformation. School has to be certified, licensed, and registered with all the appropriate authorities and ministries to be recognized for DTV approval. Make sure they have a track record of successful approvals and at which embassies those approvals were gained. Your bank account can be anywhere in the world.
