I will go to Hanoi soon to apply for a visa.

Does anyone know exactly how much 500k baht I need to keep before applying for a visa?

If anyone has recently applied for a visa in Hanoi, please let me know.

I'm really curious whether I should keep 500k for 3 months or 6 months

TLDR : Answer Summary
The community discussion revolves around the requirement of maintaining 500,000 baht before applying for a visa in Hanoi. While responses vary, there is a consensus that keeping the amount for 3 months is generally accepted, though 6 months is considered ideal. Recent experiences shared suggest that applicants might be approved with only 1 month of maintenance if supported by 6 months of bank statements.

There’s no exact answer, 6 months ideally but you will most likely be fine with 3

I had mine in for just one month before applying to Hanoi but I gave 6 months of bank statements.
