Does the 500k need to be all in one account? Like if I have 10k USD and 9k in CAD for example? This would be two accounts? Should be fine right?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The requirement of having 500,000 THB (approximately 15,000 USD) for Thai visas may depend on the specific consulate's regulations. Some embassies prefer that the funds be held in a single bank account, while others may accept funds divided across multiple accounts, provided that adequate documentation is submitted. It's advisable to combine financial statements into one document if applying for an evisa, as some online systems only allow one document to demonstrate financial stability.

My experience is if you apply for evisa online, the portal only accepts 1 document to upload for bank balance. So I just combined 2 proof of balance statements into 1 document and uploaded that. It was accepted. Applied via Australia.

It’s important to apply from wherever you are physically located at time of application. And ensure if it’s not your home country that the embassy actually will accept applications from visitors

thanks. I don't understand the question about uploading your DTV visa. Any idea?

As there is no reports on that you must guess. I don't think it matters if you present documents in neat form. There is plenty of argument why to use multiple accounts whereas living abroad or in general.

there are indeed reports (not necessarily on this group) where people were denied because of multiple accounts trying to hit the financial requirements

That is consulate specific, some consulate won't accept multiple accounts (or if they do, the do so begrudgingly).

Depends on the embassy. Some insist on one bank account statement.

Which embassy are you applying from? Ask if they accept 2 accounts. I know London, KL, Jakarta, Cambodia, Vietnam take one. 1-6 months of statements may be asked for depending on embassy.

I’m in Thailand now. I’m Canadian. Ideally I’d like 1 month only and accept multiple accounts

you will need to contact the embassy you will apply from and ask. CAD is an instant liquid account?
