Is having USD 21K across two accounts sufficient for the DTV visa financial requirement in Thailand?

Hey guys! Quick question, in applying for the DTV, we have USD 11K in 1 checking account and another USD 10K in another checking account in the same bank. Is that enough to satisfy requirements of 500,000THB for this visa? Or does it need to be in the same account? And how many months of statements do I need to show with 500,000THB equivalent? Thank you for your help!

TLDR : Answer Summary
The poster inquires if USD 21,000 split across two checking accounts meets the 500,000 THB requirement for a DTV visa in Thailand. The comments suggest that it's crucial to clarify account ownership, as joint accounts may require a higher balance. Responses also indicate that different embassies may have varying requirements for how many months of bank statements are needed—ranging from one to six months.

If "we" means two persons, you'll likely need to double the amount depending on the embassy.

When you say "we" what do you mean? If you are talking about a joint account you typically need double the money in the account
