Hi there! For the DTV visa regarding the 500k baht requirement, does it work if this money is split between multiple bank accounts, as long as they are all under your name?

Doesn’t want to do international transfers and lose commission money in the process just to have all in once place. Unless it’s absolutely necessary

Will be applying from the Taipei embassy for reference

TLDR : Answer Summary
The DTV visa application requires that the 500k baht be readily accessible, and it can be split across multiple personal bank accounts. It's important that all accounts are in the applicant's name. Transferring all funds to one account is not necessary unless preferred to avoid commission fees.

Different bank accounts are fine, as long as they are all your personal bank accounts.

business accounts are usually not accepted as the money belongs to the business, not to you personally

Whatever account(s) your 500k is in it has to be readily accessible

It's usually best to say what type of visa you're asking about, and which embassy you'll be applying at.

When I applied in Taipei last Dec that was ok. You should email them to double check it is still the same
