Do I need to keep 500,000 baht in my account for 2 months for a DTV visa application in Jakarta?

Wise may not be seen as a real bank, best to check with the consulate you will use if they will accept it

, totally get where you're coming from, visa requirements can be tricky, especially when it comes to financial proof. According to the official checklist from the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs, they require a bank statement from the past 3 months showing a final balance of no less than 500,000 THB. (Source: mfa.go.th checklist PDF)

That said, the exact interpretation can sometimes vary depending on the embassy. Some people have shared that certain embassies are quite strict and expect the money to be in the account for the entire period, while others may be more flexible and only check the final balance. As for using a Wise account, that’s a smart question. Technically, some embassies might not accept online-only bank accounts, as they prefer more traditional institutions. So it would be a good idea to check directly with the Thai Embassy in Jakarta whether they’d accept a Wise statement, just to be safe. Wishing you and your family all the best for the application! You've got this 💪🌏 And thank you for raising the question , it's one many of us have been wondering about! 🙏😊 PruLadda

There's no problem with having that in Wise that long as long as the money is legit
