No 500k not coming the rules are quite straightforward, I'm sure you can get 500k or if you say 400k THB ..if you really want it!

500,000 baht or equivalent is non-negotiable T&C of the DTV visa

Just means submit your bank statements for the last 3 months and the final balance must be no less than 400k baht equivalent. So for Australia it would be

You do realize it's not about what want but what they require, right?

true they get frustrated to check all ato and gst stuff , so simply they ask for simple amd clear deposit money instead of long monthly income

If you apply from your home country..then they not ask 400k..400k only after you want 1 year extension..when you apply for non o 90 days they only ask your one week old bank statement with minimum balance 40k bht only..

Monthly income is only for the yearly extension. An initial Non-O you need money in the bank, unless you're embassy provides income affidavits, which most don't anymore.

You need 500k in the bank no parole for this

You need a seasoned bank acct of 90 days (3 months) with ฿400k baht or equivalent currency amount

Pretty cut and dry

Some agents will and can get you a seasoned acct with the correct money amount for an eye popping nominal amount
