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
Answer summary
The question concerns the financial requirement for a DTV visa application, specifically whether the 500,000 Baht must be maintained in the bank account for three months prior to applying. Community responses indicate that requirements can vary by consulate, with some accepting a one-time deposit but still requiring a statement that shows a history of funds.

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 🙂

A final balance of 500K is fine for The Philippines, does not have to be every month. Manilla is very responsive to emails and helpful.
