Is it 500,000 cumulatively across all statements, effectively showing a final (current) balance of 500,000 OR is it 500,000 shown in each statement?

Thanks!

TLDR : Answer Summary
The inquiry seeks clarification on whether the requirement is for a total cumulative balance of 500,000 baht across all bank statements or if each statement must show a balance of 500,000 baht. Comments indicate that it typically needs to be shown in each statement, and it's common to consolidate the amount in one account rather than multiple accounts.

it's all one account, yes but im asking if each statement has to say 500,000 or they just need to say I have 500,000 in my account at the time of applying. my previous statements don't have that amount.
