How long should you keep 500,000 baht in your account when applying for a visa in Hanoi or Malaysia?
For how long do you need to have 500,000 baht in your account if applied in Hanoi/malaysia?
Answer summary
When applying for a visa from Hanoi, it appears that maintaining 500,000 baht in your account for about 2.5 months may suffice, based on one user's experience. However, the situation is different when applying from Malaysia, where evidence suggests that you may need to have this amount for 3-6 months, alongside proof of 6 months of booked accommodation. The complexity and stringency of the application process seem to vary significantly between the two locations.

I had it for 2 and a half months in Hanoi. They just requested a better picture, so I think everything else was fine. Still waiting to get approved.

Malaysia is 3-6 months in addition to 6 months booked accommodation, most difficult embassy to apply from. Vietnam has approved with recent deposits
