For Hanoi successful cases, mind to share how long your 500,000Baht has sat in your account for?

Thank you !
Answer summary
Community members shared their experiences regarding how long the required 500,000 Baht needed to be in their bank accounts for successful visa approvals in Hanoi. Responses varied, with some stating they held the funds for 3 to 6 months, while others reported approvals with only a few weeks of balance. Participants noted that visa policies can change, and having a longer hold time can strengthen applications. Additional factors such as showing excess funds or consistent income may also improve approval chances.

From our recent applicants, we’ve seen some approvals in Vietnam, Indonesia, and the Philippines even when the THB 500,000 had only been in the account for a few weeks. These three countries tend to be more lenient.

That said, visa policies can change anytime, so it’s always safer to hold the funds longer if you can.

Other factors like having funds in excess of 500k or showing some regular income can also help strengthen the application.

I had 300k in my account long time but only few days for 500k. But now things seems more strict in Hanoi.
