Can I apply for a Thai visa with 500k THB in my account for only 24 hours?
Has anyone submitted application after only having the 500k THB IN ACCOUT FOR 24 hours ?

Answer summary
The application process for a Thai visa, specifically concerning financial requirements like having 500,000 THB in your account, can vary significantly depending on the consulate. Some applicants have reported success with funding available for just 24 hours, while others recommend having the funds for a minimum of three months to avoid issues. It is advisable to check individual consulate requirements, as experiences shared indicate varying policies between locations like London, Hanoi, and Washington DC.

That is just one part of the application it depends on yourself previous travel history, whether you are applying for the soft option of workcation . It’s quite possible you will be given just a 6 month multi entry visa for soft options. Not a DTV.

Give it a try - worse that can happen is you lose the visa application fee

I had it for one month prior - was waiting for a big check for a project. It went fine but I know that countries like Vietnam will ask for 6 months

Totally depends on the consulate you'll be applying to. Go to the website of the particular consulate and read through their requirements.

A legal firm told me it’s 3 months, this was about a week ago

Has anyone done this in Manila? I want to transfer it to my partner's account for soft power application, ideally don't want to wait 1-3 months for it to mature as our lease expires here and want to move asap

I transferred mine from my business account to my personal account the day I applied. Washington DC, once approved i transferred it back.

Possible, but certainly not advisable. Three months is what I was told as standard; but I’m being encouraged to submit six months worth of financial is to ensure approval. The only way you’re going to know for sure is if you pay your fee and try it out.

depends on what embassy. London and Hanoi you can do that. But most embassies demand 3 months or more
Jon *********
Not true, I done that with 800k THB being put into my bank from my savings account like 2 weeks before applying and was denied in Hanoi and HCMC.

and we have 100+ people i, here been approved on this two places. So if you was unlucky doesnt mean its not trueJon *********
No idea, but when I posted in this group last year about it everyone told me the funds must be in your bank for at least 3 months, but if I’m honest everytime I look on this page people in here create new rules for things. But from my experience I was denied DTV two times with over 800kTHB in my account for around 2 weeks and all documents needed for soft power Muay Thai. ( this was November last year)

@Jon ********
no where on the application portal when I applied did it specify 3 months was required to have the funds. The way they worded it was proof of finances - with 3 month bank statements being an example of proof. Idk if it's different in those embassy portals or all the sameJon *********
But may I ask when you guys applied for it
Jon *********
I must have been unlucky then

I had the money for 48h in Hanoi, got approvedKurt *************
@Jon ********
they dont ask for 3 months in hanoi or londonJon *********
That is true but the money should be in the account for at least 3 months, I think it’s to stop people from just getting someone to send the money as proof and send it back once they obtain the visa, it’s to prove the funds truly belong to you
