ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello! 

I recently finished my bachelors degree (remote) and have been in Thailand the past 1.5 years on education visas and visa except in the beginning. I fell in love with the country, a Thai man and Muay Thai. 

I did not have 500,000 in an account in my name because I had a company in Germany before and it was safest there while I was abroad. Transferred it now. I can get a recent statement, but not 3 months. 

I am planning to add a cover letter explaining my plans etc. 

Do you have any advice on embassies (close to Thailand) or general advice? 

I appreciate it!

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user, having completed a bachelor's degree remotely and spent 1.5 years in Thailand on education visas, seeks advice regarding applying for a visa that requires financial proof. They mention a lack of 3 months' bank statements due to previous financial holdings in Germany but have now transferred funds to Thailand. Community responses emphasize the importance of having a 3-month bank statement for the application, with some suggesting waiting until the requirement is met to avoid wasting application fees.

Thailand isn't a country that does exceptions. Nobody in the chain of command who sees your letter has the power to do it and nobody will bother escalating it.

Find a way to wait the 3 months and apply then otherwise you will waste your application fee.

Wait for three month then apply is better; but if you are in rush, fyi our recent case last week in Jakarta approved with latest 2 months statement over 500K + solid application preps.

I’d suggest you to wait till 3 to play safe.

You're going to need that money in an account for 3 months or you will probably be wasting your application fee.
