Do I need to maintain 500k baht in my bank account for DTV Visa renewal every 180 days?

To renew the DTV Visa, you must maintain the initial requirements, including proving you have 500,000 THB in your bank account. This rule applies for the extension process, as stated by fellow expats who mentioned that showing proof of funds is necessary. Many choose to exit and re-enter Thailand to reset their 180-day visa period.
