ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
Obtaining a DTV visa is generally considered straightforward if you meet the necessary requirements, including maintaining a bank balance of 500,000 Baht for a specified period before applying. While some consulates may require the funds to be held for six months, once the visa is issued, there is no obligation to keep the funds in the account to maintain the visa's validity.
