Hello. I'm a Korean planning to apply for a DTV visa at the HCMC

I have about 550,000 THB in my Korean bank account, but the bank statement shows the amount in KRW, not USD or THB.

Dates and other info are in English, but only the currency is KRW.

Is it okay to submit this for the visa application?

Thank you!

In a successful application I was party to, the statement was in a currency that the staff in HCMC may not have been familiar with. In order to make sure they were aware that it was over the 500k a note was added (pdf merged) to the statement showing the exchange rate from that currency to Thai baht.

Not sure if it was necessary or not, but it was easy enough to do.

Oh really? So did you write any notes about the currency? Or does the embassy calculate the exchange rate on their own?

No problem, many applicants submitted their bank statements in different currency to THB/USD. The key part is having the currency equivalent to 500k THB

I gave a UK GBP statement for the 500K and Japanese Yen statements for proof of income/salary. Each statement had THB equivalent amount and the exchange rate used - Taipei Embassy.

Yes it’s fine it’s equivalent to your local currency. You could if you wanted to be extra, supply a page showing the conversion from your currency to THB. Try to keep it at around 550, because currency rates can fluctuate daily.
