Do I need to keep 500,000 THB in my account for 3 months for a visa application from Hanoi?

To apply for a visa from Hanoi, it is generally recommended to have 500,000 THB in your account for at least 3 months prior to application. However, experiences vary; some applicants have been approved with funds held for shorter periods, such as 2 months or even 2 weeks. While it's not a strict rule, having seasoned funds (consistent balance over time) is considered safer, as some embassies may request evidence of funds for longer durations, such as 6 months, to avoid any issues during the application process.
