Hi is the 500k required?

Or is it enough to provide a stable monthly income and work contract?

Anyone can give me information for the Germany Frankfurt consulate

If the 500k is needed do they accept sponsorship just to show the money?
Summary so far
The post seeks clarification on whether 500,000 THB is necessary for a visa application at the Germany Frankfurt consulate, or if a steady income and work contract would suffice. Comments suggest mixed insights about sponsorship and the need for direct financial proof, with a consensus leaning towards the necessity of having the funds available in the applicant's account for a specified period.

They won't accept sponsorship they will want to see its in your account and they'll want to see how you support yourself also in terms of income. It's not a visa people can game play it's been put together to replace the game play with reassurance lol

Dude just do research! All information is available and what is listed as requirement is actually required if you want a successful approval.

It’s up to you if you want to try to game the system

It’s a $350/฿10,000 baht decision which is non refundable once you hit submit

Good luck

Some Embassies accept sponsorship. Usually a close relative.

They may accept a sponsorship letter from an employer or perhaps a parent, but in the case of a parent it would be better if they transferred the money to you

You need to have the cash and show you have this for at least 3-6 months.

no not in Germany, I had over 500k THB on my bank account only for 1 month and they accepted and approved my visa without further questions about that

The 16,000 euro is a core requirement for all applicants (the exact amount depends on each embassy)

as I said, it's country specific. I don't know how much for Germany, but for some places is way below the equivalent of 500K and for some places way above it. Each applicant needs to check the website of the specific embassy/consulate they'll be applying at 👍🏻
