TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is inquiring about applying for a visa with a recent deposit of 500,000 baht in their bank account and is curious about the time it takes for the application to be approved in Ho Chi Minh City. Comments from others suggest checking local requirements and indicate that the formal processing time is approximately five working days, although it's advised to verify bank balance seasoning rules with the consulate.

The announced processing time is five working days. Formally, there's no requirement for seasoning for 500K baht, but you'll need to confirm this with the consulate in Ho Chi Minh.

You apply online but it goes through the Embassy in the country where you are located so it has to meet their requirements
