When we apply in Cambodia, do we need to put 5M bhat consistently for 3 months? Please kindly guide me.

Answer summary

The general consensus among community members is that you do not need to maintain a balance of 5 million baht for 3 months when applying for a Thai visa in Cambodia. Instead, a minimum balance of 500,000 baht is sufficient, with some noting that shorter periods of maintaining this amount are acceptable. However, there are concerns about the reliability of the application process in Cambodia, with suggestions to consider applying from Vietnam instead.

Thanks for sharing everyone. Some agents mentioned that we need to show consistent balance for 3 months, so I'm a bit worried

There have always been tensions between Thailand and Cambodia. Lands issue. I would apply from Vietnam if you can. Cambodia purposely takes weeks and weeks from what I've heard

The tensions should not be the problem to get the visa, but it might lead to stopping direct flights between the countries.

No. I applied there In April and only had the amount of 500k for about 2 -3 weeks. I did provided 3 months statements which showed a lowest balance of around 150k. My statements did also show normal usage of income/expense.

This and given the tensions, they might even decide to close the embassy down or stop processing visa applications if things escalate.

The best place so far is Hanoi.

The next best place is from the country on your passport

The drama between the two countires is not very predictable. Waiting for the day they close the borders completely. Not sure I would want to apply in a country where there is outrage toward thailand for a thailand visa

you only need 500,000 baht, not 5,000,000.
