DTV visa Thailand visa rules bank balance requirement visa application timing expat advice

ORIGINAL POSTER

hello 

I understand that I need to keep 500,000 baht in my account for more than 3 months. 

But I'm short by about 11 days 

Can I still apply for a visa and be accepted? 

Or should I wait until the 3 months are up before applying for a visa? 

If I were to apply for a visa, 500,000 baht would be left in my account for 79 days. 

Please help me guys
