TLDR : Answer Summary

The 500,000 THB requirement for the DTV visa can be fulfilled with funds in any bank account that is in your name, whether it is a Thai bank or a foreign bank. However, the account must have the funds for a minimum of three months. It's important to check with the respective embassy for any specific requirements, as they may vary.

You’ll struggle to even get a Thai bank account on a DTV visa. It can be in any account in your name as long as it’s been there for 3 months or more.

Any bank, as long as the account is in your name. Each embassy sets their own requirements though.
