Hi Everyone, I might have read somewhere that the 500k baht needs to be in your account for at least a month when applying for the VISA. We're based in London if that matters.
Answer summary
The general consensus from the comments is that there is no specific requirement for the 500,000 baht to be maintained in your account for a full month when applying for a visa from London. Instead, embassies are primarily interested in your current bank balance. Some users have noted that London only requires a closing balance without seasoning, meaning the funds can be transferred right before applying.

Different for each embassy, and in Sydney, it seems it's different for each person 🤷🏻

London is only a closing balance. My balance was fully transferred on the day of making the statement.

no no, I’ve applied in Malaysia , but I did my tourist visa through London and was pretty fast

I’ll tell you - be prepared for them requesting documents

They’ve asked me for:

•bank statements

•Muay Thai gym pic

•sponsorship letter

They are so tedious haha

London does not have any seasoning requirement for the 500K.
