Opinions vary: some believe that exceeding the minimum requirements is beneficial, while others assert that sufficient funds alone does not guarantee approval. Comments highlight differing experiences, suggesting that while more funds could be advantageous, the emphasis is also on the applicant's overall financial stability and intent to support themselves in Thailand.
