ORIGINAL POSTERI would like to apply for a DTV visa soft power in Hanoi. Like other places, do I need to prove that I have maintained a balance of 500,000 baht for three consecutive months at the Thai Embassy in Hanoi? Or do I just need to prove that I had a balance of 500,000 baht or more at the beginning of each month?
*The Hanoi Embassy DTV notice does not include a 3-month retention clause.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquired about the financial requirements for applying for a DTV visa at the Thai Embassy in Hanoi, specifically whether they need to prove a balance of 500,000 baht for three consecutive months or just at the beginning of each month. Comments suggest that there is no three-month retention requirement in Hanoi, and applicants have successfully applied with just the total amount prior to their application.
