Just have one burning question I need help with before applying:

Does the 500k THB requirement spanning over a 3-month period require a minimum of 500k THB EACH month? Or a total amount of 500k THB over 3 months?

I have money spread out over multiple accounts and investments, it seems odd for the requirement to have all that money stored in one account for the past 3 months before applying.

I will be applying in Manila

TLDR : Answer Summary
The inquiry addresses whether the 500,000 THB requirement for applying for a Thai visa in Manila necessitates having a minimum of 500,000 THB in the bank each month or if it can be a total of 500,000 THB over a three-month period. Responses suggest that the total should meet the 500k THB threshold by the date of application, without needing to maintain that amount monthly. However, the requirements may vary depending on the specific immigration office.

From my experience on applying other thai visa required show money. I did use seperate accounts to show them. But one account to be safe.
