Hi there, does the country of the bank account with both my 500,000 baht (equivalent in EUR) savings and freelance invoice payments received have to be in the same country as the country I'm applying from? I.e. I have a bank account with a registered address in the EU from when I lived there, but will be applying from Australia where I am a citizen. I work events in the EU during summer, which is why I get paid into that one
Answer summary
The location of your bank account does not need to match the country from which you are applying for a visa. Applicants have successfully used accounts from different countries without issue. It may be helpful to provide a letter explaining your situation, particularly if your funds come from freelance work performed in another region.

I actually applied today from India while funds are held in Singapore.

Hopefully, it should not matter

No, it doesn't matter where the accounts are.
