Can I use a Thai bank statement to prove funds for a DTV visa application?

Hi guys, quick question about the DTV visa. I’ve been on a Thai work permit for over 2 years and have a local bank account here. Now that I’m losing my work permit, I want to apply for the DTV.

The issue is all my savings are in my Thai bank account. Will embassies accept a Thai bank statement showing the 500k+ THB balance, or does the financial proof have to be from a foreign bank? Has anyone done this successfully? Appreciate any insights!

thank you very much!
Answer summary
The DTV visa application can accept financial proof from a Thai bank account, as confirmed by multiple community members. While using a Thai account should suffice to demonstrate you have the required funds of 500,000 THB, some cautioned about the scrutiny towards those transitioning from a work permit to a DTV visa due to varying regulations concerning the scope of business activity allowed.

While Thai bank account is ok from there mere perspective of proving sufficient funds, it might lead to a more critical evaluation of you intentions in Thailand, like coming from a Thai work permit to switching to workation DTV - which does explicitly not allow for Thai customers / clients / nexus. So take extra care of making your case plausible.
