Is a yearly salary sufficient to bypass the 500,000 THB requirement for a guardianship visa in Thailand?

The question seeks clarification on whether a yearly income can replace the requirement of having 500,000 THB in a Thai bank account for a guardianship visa. Responses indicate that only the bank balance is accepted for the visa application, while an annual salary might be considered for an Extension of Stay at an immigration office. Some participants mention confusion about the amounts required, suggesting that it's typically 400,000 THB instead of 500,000 THB, and highlight the need for direct consultation with the embassy or immigration officials for accurate information.
