Hello everyone.

I’m planning to apply in Ho Chi Minh. My average balance over the past 5 months has been around 500,000 THB, but I recently needed some money, so my current balance is only 200,000 THB. In a few days, I will deposit more funds to maintain over 500,000 THB again.

In this case, will there be any issues with my application?

Also, I have been here for about 5 months now. Do I need to wait exactly 6 months before applying?

Thank you, friends! Have a great day!
Answer summary
The user is inquiring about applying for a visa in Ho Chi Minh City with a fluctuating bank balance, specifically if a recent drop below the threshold of 500,000 THB will impact their application. Comments from other users confirm that the financial requirement is to have the requisite balance at the time of application, not consistently over the preceding months. Additionally, it is indicated that there's no mandatory six-month waiting period to apply, though demonstrating financial stability is essential.

How long was it at 200k, a few weeks or a month? What you want to show is financial stability. On the face of it you generally look okay, but HCMC is getting a bit stricter. Why would you need to wait 6 months? To season the funds? In your case it might be a bit safer.

No issues applying with that financial record. You do not need to wait 6 months to apply. You need 500K on day of submission in Vietnam not every month for 6 months.
