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

Summary so far

The user is seeking clarification on whether they can apply for a visa when they are 11 days short of the required 3-month period for maintaining 500,000 baht in their bank account. The comments provide mixed advice, with several users suggesting it's safer to wait for the full 3 months, while others encourage going ahead with the application regardless.
