Hi everyone, I looked in the group already but couldn't really find an answer. We're going to apply for a DTV in Jakarta with my family. I know that they are fine with us having 500,000 baht for the whole family and that they want 2 months worth of bank statements. I'm just wondering if the 500,000 baht needs to be in the account for the 2 months or if it's ok if it's there for 3 or 4 weeks 🤔. Just asking because they want the money on a bank account in my name and I only have a wise account, not sure I want that much money on a wise account for so long 😅

Thanks everyone for your help!
Answer summary
A user is preparing to apply for a Thai DTV visa in Jakarta and is inquiring whether the required 500,000 baht needs to be maintained in their bank account for a full 2 months, or if it's acceptable for the funds to be there for just 3 or 4 weeks. Community responses emphasize the importance of confirming details with the Thai embassy and note that the interpretation of financial proof can vary by embassy. Some suggest that Wise accounts may not be acceptable for this purpose.

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

because the question was regarding a specific embassy's requirements and you are posting general info from the MFA. It's on topic, but off point.
