Do I need the proof of funds (500k TBH) 3 months before or can I send the funds to an account the month before for example?
Answer summary
To determine whether you need to show proof of funds for three months before your visa application in Thailand, it largely depends on the consulate you are applying to. While a common practice suggests maintaining the required amount (500,000 THB) for at least six months for a smoother process and better approval rates, many have successfully applied with only three months of proof. However, having less than three months may introduce risks, as approval can vary by consulate and circumstances.

I provided 3 months applying in Hanoi. Others have gotten through by showing 3 months but only having the 500k for a shorter time. It's possible, but riskier to show less than 3 months. It will depend on the embassy and agent reviewing your paperwork. There is no across the board hard and fast rule bc Thailand just isn't that consistent. But your chances are much better with at least 3 months.

Like Andi said depends on consulate you’re applying from.

Definitely smoothest process and easiest approval rate is 6 months, the generic rule is 6 months across the board

Anonymous participant Ok, London, approves with a final balance of 500K, no specific seasoning needed. To avoid requests for additional statements submit 3-6 months of statements
