Proof of Funds with Wise?

Hi everyone,

I have a question regarding the DTV application and proof of funds.

Most of my funds are currently held on Wise. Has anyone successfully used a Wise balance/account statement as proof of funds for the DTV visa? Or would it be safer to transfer everything to a traditional bank account before applying?

I’m planning to apply in Vientiane, Laos in about 3 months, so I’d really appreciate hearing recent experiences from people who applied there. Thanks!
Answer summary
The user inquired about using a Wise account as proof of funds for a DTV visa application in Vientiane, Laos. Responses indicate mixed experiences; while some confirm that Wise is acceptable, others suggest it may not be viewed favorably since it is not a traditional bank. It is recommended to consider transferring funds to a conventional bank for safer processing, though Wise could still work.

I've heard of conflicting cases where it's sometimes okay and sometimes not, as it isn't officially a registered bank. If you have another option, I'd recommend using the other option but Wise will probably be fine.
