ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi everyone,

I’m applying for the DTV visa from Turkey. To avoid currency depreciation, I want to keep the required 500,000 THB in my USD savings account, but the account has almost no activity.

Is this acceptable?

Thanks!

Yes it is. Some banks dont give automated statementa on accounts with little activity but if you contact bank they can write one manually. Mine did and it was accepted in hanoi

Savings accounts typically have little activity. Not an issue.
