What are the bank balance requirements for a Thai DTV visa application from HCMC, Vietnam, and which agency should I use?

Question

Question + Best Agency? 
Hey everyone,

I'm seeing some sources that say that how long you have to keep 500k THB in your bank is different depending on where you apply.

For example if you apply from HCMC Vietnam the requirements are only stated as statement of last 6 months, and a balance of no less than 500.000 THB. No 3 month requirement is mentioned, I emailed them directly too.

I also found some people mentioning that they got their DTV visa by applying in HCMC literally a week after their balance got to 500.000 THB.

Im not asking this to cut corners, I have the balance and more, but it's in my business bank not in my personal, so I have to transfer the required amount to my personal bank.

Thats why I wanna know, how long do I actually have to keep this money in bank before I apply in НСМС? Would appreciate if anyone can tell me about their experience as well.

Oh and I’d appreciate it if you guys can share the agency you worked with that got it for you first try.

Thanks!!

The requirements for maintaining a balance of 500,000 THB in your bank before applying for a DTV visa from HCMC, Vietnam, can differ based on the embassy's guidelines. Generally, a period of 3 months is advisable, but some applicants have reported success with non-seasoned deposits as long as the balance is present at the time of application. Experiences vary, with some users obtaining their visas shortly after reaching the required balance. Additionally, there are recommendations for agencies like ISSA Compass in HCMC, which are noted for their efficiency, although communication may be slow.

It’s very dependent on the embassy but 3month+ seems generally the safe option

Friend applied in Hanoi. Gave 3 months of statements and only the most recent had $17,000.

Their agent also asked them for a balance letter since they applied in middle of month.

Approved.

I used ISSA compass from hcmc. 10 working days from start to finish they are slow in responding but they know what they are doing.

You can find in the threads loads of posts inc very recently showing Vietnam does approve with non-seasoned deposits. There is not an exact amount of time to keep the money beyond being in your account at time of submission.  There are some who are more cautious and season funds for 3 months before applying in Vietnam.
