Can I apply for a Thai visa from Cambodia and what are the bank balance requirements?

Question

Hi everyone,

I wanted to ask: Has anyone applied for the visa while being in Cambodia?

And - Do you know if those 500,000 baht have to be on your bank account only for the specific day when handing in the application or do you have to have those 500K on your bank account for like 3 months or something...?

I am asking because I will have some major costs very soon and I am considering applying for the DTV before spending bigger amounts of money (because then I would not have those 500K anymore).

Thank you very much in advance.🙏

The discussion revolves around applying for a Thai visa while in Cambodia, particularly about the requirement to show a bank balance of 500,000 baht. Community members clarify that this amount may need to be documented over a period, often requested for the last 6 months, depending on the embassy's regulations. Some users suggest delaying major expenses until after visa approval due to the potential risk of denial if financial discrepancies are found. Others share experiences with different embassies, advising thorough research on specific requirements.

The problem you may face, is if they request additional documents, or if they request an interview at any point during the application process.

I have heard and seen of people being asked to open their banking app, to show they still have the money in the bank. Though this seemed a little extreme, you run the risk of being denied. My advice, delay paying those expenses (as silly as it sounds) until the visa application is approved.

You need a bankstatement with around 13000 dollar. I was not asked for previous months. Just my current bank status (savings account) was enough. It'll take about 2 to 3 weeks before you are approved. Since it's an e-visa directly from the Thai government I don't think it matters much where you are applying from. I did get mine in Cambodia as well.

Use group search tool with the embassy names to see what others have reported for funding requirements in Cambodia

Read the website of the Thai Embassy you will apply at, and read very careful, to avoid misunderstandings as 5.000.000 or 500.000
