Do I need to keep my funds in a current account for three months to apply for a DTV visa in Thailand?

About to apply for a DTV but my finances are spread over savings (cash isa's , bonds , savings ) account. I very rarely have much in my current account just covers my bills due to it being 0%. I was told by somebody else who has thinking of applying that the 12k has to be in a current a/c for three months and not savings accounts , is this true ? thanks.

TLDR : Answer Summary
When applying for a DTV visa in Thailand, it is not strictly necessary for the required 500,000 THB to be in your current account for three months. While some applicants have successfully transferred the amount to their current account shortly before application, it is important that the funds are liquid and accessible. Different embassies may have varying requirements, and instant access to your funds is crucial.

I applied from Taipei December last year. Was in similar situation as you described. I moved it to my current account create a statement the day before application. No problem

The 500k does not need to be seasoned for 3 months. It depends on the embassy you apply from. If applying from London a final balance of 500k with several months statements is ok. You can see posts of people transferring money same day or day before and approved. Instant access to funds required

The financial requirement of 500k must be liquid and available when you submmit the application. Some people say you need to have it for 3 months when i applied for mine last week in Hanoi i sent 6 bank statements. The DTV visa is quite broad in how you can apply for it. If your finances are not up to what they require have an sponsor and go with one of the soft options. If you go with the ( your own business route) they need a structure and looking into what you are providing it might complicate the story. Stay simple and you would get the visa . Good luck 🙏
