Hi everyone I’m interested in getting a destination travel visa but I’m curious to know if anyone has experience with the Los Angeles thai consulate in regards to how long the 500,000 THB needs to be in the bank for. Thank you :)

TLDR : Answer Summary
The conversation revolves around the duration for which 500,000 THB needs to be maintained in the bank for a Destination Travel Visa (DTV) at the Los Angeles Thai consulate. There is uncertainty regarding this requirement as the consulate's website does not specify a time period. Users suggest contacting the consulate directly for clarification and indicate that a current bank statement is likely sufficient to meet the requirement.

the requirement doesn't xspecify a time period. So just upload a current statement.

It doesn’t say anything about this on the consulate’s website, so if you don’t get any concrete feedback, you’ll probably just have to contact them and ask.
