Do you need to show 3 months of funds for the Thai DTV application?

Hi all,

My friend and I are planning to apply for the DTV from Ireland as soon as possible. Neither of us has held the minimum 500k baht in our personal bank accounts for the past 3 months, though we can transfer the funds across from our investment accounts immediately.

The official requirement is 3 months of seasoning, but I’d rather not wait that long if I can avoid it. For anyone who has applied recently: did you need to show the full 3 months, or has 1 month (or less) been accepted in practice?

Thanks in advance for any insights.
Summary so far
The user is inquiring about the financial requirement for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) as they have not maintained the required 500,000 baht in their personal bank accounts for the previous 3 months. They are considering transferring funds from their investment accounts but seek confirmation if 1 month of funds would suffice based on recent experiences. The comments reflect mixed opinions, with some emphasizing the importance of adhering to the official requirements, while others suggest that specific embassy policies may vary.

If the official requirements are certain amount for 3 months, why are you so special that they're going to just say, yeah this person is special so we'll just let them walk in no matter what. This is exactly what Thailand is looking for; people who want to break all the rules before they even officially arrive in country. It's bad behavior that is 100% responsible for the 60 days visa exempt being reduced to 30. By all means apply.

You are confusing the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) with the Thai Digital Arrival Card (TDAC).
