Hello, I have a question regarding DTV visa financial rrquirement. Is it necessary for the 500,000 Baht to be maintained in my bank account for at least 3 months prior to the application? Or would it be acceptable to deposit the full amount as a one-time transaction and simply request a bank certificate for submission? I have in and out money in my bank account but no maintaining balance with that amount. Thanks!

Edited: i have Philippines passport. Applying in PH- thai embassy

TLDR : Answer Summary

The inquiry pertains to the financial requirement for a DTV visa, specifically whether the 500,000 Baht must be maintained in the bank account for 3 months prior to application or if a one-time deposit would suffice if accompanied by a bank certificate. Comments suggest variations in requirements depending on the embassy, indicating that some may require a three-month balance statement while others may only need the funds to be present on the application day.

Manila seems to be fine with a final balance, BUT, they want to see a 3 month statement. So if you've had only 50 pesos for the last little while and they suddenly see a million, they might wonder what lottery numbers you played.

You don't state what consulate you're applying for your DTV at 😕

AND

The 'seasoning' of the funds is consulate specific, some want it in for 3 months before you apply, some want it in for 1 month before you apply, SOME only want you to show it in the account on the day you apply

how do you see "consulate/embassy" specific requirements, when I've been on different embassy websites to look at the requirements, it redirects me to the generic "e visa website"

Anonymous participant 964 you're correct and many consulates do not have their specific information posted so it's a crap shoot and a search of the group can give good results sometimes 🙂
