Do I need to have 500k in my account for 3 months before applying for a visa in Thailand?
Hi everyone! does anyone know if the 500k needs to be in your account for 3 months before applying? we were told it needs to be by our lawyer... but I want to apply next month and have only transferred today. Thank you! (I'm applying in the UK)
Answer summary
The requirement for keeping 500,000 THB in your account may vary depending on where you apply. While some sources mention needing a 3-month bank statement for certain locations like Laos, others, including the London embassy, have accepted recent balances of 500k+. It seems that having the funds for a few months can strengthen your application, but it's not strictly necessary, as there are instances of successful applications with funds deposited shortly before submission.

Not necessarily. Having it for at least a few months makes your application look stronger, but I've seen numerous posts of people putting it in their bank just a few days before submission
