Do you need to show that you’ve had 500K in your account for 3 months before applying for a DTV visa? I’m from the UK. Will my business account suffice?

TLDR : Answer Summary
To apply for a DTV visa in Thailand, you do not necessarily need to show that you have had 500,000 THB in your account for three months. While most embassies require three months of bank statements, only the most recent statement must show the balance of 500,000 THB. Importantly, the bank account must be in your name, so a business account will not suffice.

Business account will not work. It must be a bank account in your name.

You don't need to show 500k for 3 months at most embassies. They want 3 months of bank statements, but only the most recent once must show 500k.
