ORIGINAL POSTER

hello, might be a silly question but in regards to the required bank statements, would you be accepting providing statements from a savings account rather than a debit account?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The discussion clarifies that bank statements from a savings account are acceptable for visa applications in Thailand, as long as the account is not a brokerage, trading, or fixed deposit account. Several commenters confirm that using a savings account is common and sometimes preferred due to better interest rates.

Yes, I was asked why 99% of my money is in a savings account and not in the current account. I just explained that the savings offers higher interest and is easily and quickly transferred between the two when required!
