Do I need to keep 500k in my bank account for 6 months before applying for a visa in Thailand?
# Dutchies!
I have recently heard about needing to have the required 500k for atleast 6 months in your personal bank account.. By the end of this month I have well over 500k but not for 6 months yet..
Do any of you have experience with this? If this is true I have to wait a lil longer to apply😩
EDIT: I'm asking about the dutch embassy (The Hague) specifically!

Answer summary
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.

I was not asked for anything else than the current statement, but that was July last year, so I have no idea if that changed in between.

I transfered the money to my daily use account 1 day before I printed the statements. But I have quite a lot coming in and going out so maybe they just got lost idk. In spanje

Depends on which embassy you apply at, so check their website.

@Henrik ****
some embassies want 6 months statements but don’t need the balance to be 500K THB the whole time some do. Some want 3 months some want 1 month it all depends on where you applyBest to check on details where you are going to apply

When I applied last year I moved it from savings account to current account the day before applying. But I don't know, could have changed in the meantime.
