Can I use a Wise personal account as proof of funds for the Thailand Destination Visa if I transfer from my business account?

Destination Thailand Visa Visa application process Proof of funds Wise personal account Sole proprietorship Bank statements Embassy requirements

ORIGINAL POSTER

I'm a sole proprietor of my LLC and all my income goes into a business bank account under the company name. I understand that for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV), they usually want to see personal bank statements, not business accounts — even if I'm the sole owner and signatory.

If I open a Wise personal account, transfer the funds from my business account to it, and keep it there, can that be used as proof of funds for the DTV application?

Also:

* How long does the money need to sit in the new personal account before it's considered valid proof?

* Will the lack of 3–6 months of personal statement history be a problem if I include a letter explaining the transfer and that I'm a sole proprietor?

TLDR : Answer Summary

A sole proprietor is inquiring about using funds from a Wise personal account as proof of funds for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) application. Typically, DTV applications require personal bank statements rather than business accounts. The user questions if transferring business funds to a Wise account is acceptable, how long the money should remain in the account to be deemed valid, and whether lacking 3-6 months history would be problematic if accompanied by an explanatory letter. Comments suggest that acceptance of Wise varies by embassy, and some accounts allow same-day transfers while others may require several months.

Some places accept Wise some don’t

Some need money in the account for months others don’t

Best idea is to check with the embassy you are planning to use

You can do that. The seasoning of the 500K depends where you apply, some same day transfer is fine others require 3-6 months of seasoning. Wise is accepted by some embassies as is Revolut. Where are you applying?

Wise is not a bank so not a good idea, better to use a proper bank account in your name. How long the funds have to be in the bank varies by where you apply
