Is it a mistake to use my Thai bank account to show proof of funds, instead of one from my home country? I’m aware it could highlight that I’ve essentially been living in Thailand for the past six months (on visa exemptions), and that I’ve had a Thai account for four years now (I’ve been on various visas). My passport stamps tell the same story, however.
TLDR : Answer Summary
Using a Thai bank account to show proof of funds for visa applications is generally acceptable, but it can raise concerns about your visa status and whether you have been working illegally in Thailand. While many users reported no issues when using a local account, some cautioned that it could prompt further scrutiny, especially if funds were earned within Thailand or if there are discrepancies with visa stamps showing extended stays. Supporting documentation about the source of the funds is often required, particularly if they are from outside Thailand.
