Is 500,000 baht sufficient for a family of 4 to get a Thai visa without issues?

Hi 👋🏼

The embassy in Hanoi told me that 500,000 baht for a month was enough for a family of 4 but just wanted to check if anyone had done it and if they accepted it with no issues? Thanks!

What do you think they're looking for when they ask for multiple statements?

your application was cancelled, not rejected. A cancellation usually means improperly entered passport data.
