I’m currently applying for a DTV visa from Indonesia. I have two questions

The place I’m staying is direct from the owner so my plan was to just book a hostel for 2 weeks and use that as my place of “accommodation” as there is an obvious paper trail by way of receipt on booking.com, is this okay?

My second question is regarding the 500k THB. I have an instant access account with over the specified amount that I haven’t touched in a year. Nothing goes into this account and only really interest gets withdrawn, is this okay as proof of funds? To give context I am applying for workcation, should I have transferred these funds into the same account my company pays me into or can I

a.

Just upload the instant access account with the funds

B. Upload both accounts of me getting paid by the company into one account and the 500k+ in the other account

C. Transfer the funds into the account I pay myself in and apply in a few months?

Thanks
Answer summary
The user is applying for a DTV visa from Indonesia and has questions regarding accommodation and proof of funds. They are considering using a hostel booking as proof of accommodation and want to know if an instant access bank account with over 500k THB can be used as proof of funds. Comments suggest that a letter from the property owner might suffice for accommodation and that providing bank statements from both the instant access account and their salary account is acceptable. The user is also exploring the option of transferring funds into their salary account before applying.

It is ok to rent direct from an owner they just provide letter detailing your stay. You can submit your savings account statement and the account statements which your salary is paid into

Seems like you don’t have to wait for months if you go with #3.

Also, you might be fine with a letter confirmation from the owner so no need to book a hostel
