ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
As a US citizen applying for a Thai visa at the Washington DC embassy, there is a requirement to show 3 months of bank statements with a minimum balance of 500,000 THB. However, it's important to note that the requirement does not specify that the balance must be maintained for 3 months. Some applicants have reported success by applying shortly after depositing the required funds, though this may vary by embassy and individual case.
