Can anyone advise is it very very strict the money in bank for 3 months? I have only just seen this and wondering if this is going to massively affect me?

I had it in a trading 212 account prior

Answer summary
The requirement to show 500,000 THB in a bank account for three months is strictly enforced for certain visa applications, particularly at different embassies. While some may accept shorter durations, the general expectation is that the funds must be in the account for at least three months. Specific regulations can vary by location, with some embassies asking for up to six months of statements. It's advisable to check the embassy's website for specific requirements based on your application location.

What do you mean if it’s strict. It is very clear 500k in your account for the last 3 months. If you have it, it gets accepted, if not, you wait for 3 months, its so clear and easy🤷‍♂️

It depends on the embassy. We got all of our 4 dtv within the last year with just one month statements for each of us.
