ORIGINAL POSTER

Hey Everyone, I have a question regarding the 500,000 THB. I have a bank statement that shows I have earned over this amount in the past 6 months however my opening and closing balance are not this amount. 

Does this matter and has anyone has success with this or does the bank statement have to have a closing balance of over 500,000?

Thank you 🙏

TLDR : Answer Summary

The requirement for visa applications, particularly for the DTV, is to show a closing bank balance of at least 500,000 THB. It is not sufficient to only demonstrate earnings exceeding this amount; you must have that amount readily available in your account to ensure financial security.

Depending on the embassy they will want to see either a closing balance of 500+k or a consistent balance over a period of time of 500+k.

They need to see that you have that amount in closing. The concept of having 500k thb is to ensure you have that amount readily available in case of emergency. Depending on where you apply, the embassy may want to see that amount in your bank account and a steady income.
