Does the THB 500 balance have to be in the account each month for 3-6 month or is just ending balance ok?
I now have the required money in the account and don't want to wait 3-6 months.
I'm m looking to apply either in Cambodia or Vietnam.
Thank you.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The THB 500,000 balance does not necessarily need to be maintained in your account for the entire duration of 3-6 months; a final balance is often sufficient, particularly for applications in Cambodia or Vietnam. Some applicants have successfully used just one month's statement, but recent trends indicate tighter regulations may require showing the funds for a minimum of six months. Providing six months of bank statements showcasing the required amount is recommended for a safer application process.

Would it be sufficient to provide 6 months of bank statements where you can only see the previous and final amount of 500k and not everything you spend/receive?

I am planning to be on the safe side and providing 6 months showing it has been in my account.

I applied with only one month's statement, and I know a couple of others who did the same, but this was some time ago. I'm hearing that most embassies are clamping down because they realized that some people are simply transferring money in and out once the visa is approved. You can try to apply, but there is a risk they may ask for a statement showing funds for a minimum six-month period. Not only that, immigration may ask to see funds when you leave and return to the country (this happened to a friend of mine). Hope that helps; good luck!

Cambodia and Vietnam are ok with just a final balance of 500K and several months bank statements.
