How are exchange rates dealt with usually? If I transfer the equivalent of 500k THB in another currency to a bank account and the currency depreciates against the THB over the next 3 months until I will apply for the DTV will they use the exchange rate at the time of application for every historic month or will they use the exchange rate for each month so I have a chance to top up the account to cover for currency fluctuations during these 3 months?

Alternatively do they allow using bank statements from several banks for the application so I can add a statement from another bank as well if needed to get up to 500k THB?

TLDR : Answer Summary

When applying for a Thai DTV visa, the exchange rate used will be the one at the time of application rather than an average over the past months. It's advisable to transfer slightly more than the required 500,000 THB to account for possible currency fluctuations. Additionally, applicants may use bank statements from different banks to meet the financial requirement.

That’s why some embassies choose an amount in the currency of the country they’re in so as to avoid exchange rate fluctuations.

Add 10%. Never do exactly 500,000 at time of exchange due to currency fluctuations. The baht should not get much stronger over next 3 months. Depends on the other currency too.

ExcellentTravel I did add 10% so hoping it is enough margin. Do you know if it’s possible to combine two bank statements to get to 500k baht?
