How long does the 500k baht need to be in your bank account for a Thai visa application, and does this vary by embassy?
For the 500k baht, how long does the money need to be in your account for? Does this vary from embassy to embassy?
Answer summary
The required duration for holding 500k baht in your bank account before an application can vary by embassy. Some embassies require the funds to be held for 6 months, while others, like the US embassy, may be satisfied with a recent statement showing the current balance.

Totally varies. Some embassies want to see 6 months and others like the US just want to see what's in there now.
