The user inquires about needing to maintain 500,000 Thai Baht in their personal bank account for at least six months as a requirement for their Thai visa application. Comments from other users suggest that the six-month requirement may be accurate, as personal experiences indicate that some embassy applications were rejected due to insufficient proof of funds duration. There are recommendations to check specific embassy guidelines as requirements may vary.
