ORIGINAL POSTERhello
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
