TLDR : Answer Summary

The original post discusses the rejection of a DTV visa application in Savannakhet, Laos, due to insufficient bank statement requirements. The poster provided a sponsorship letter but was asked for a bank statement showing at least 500,000 baht held for a minimum of two months, conflicting with information received in Vientiane, which stated the funds should be maintained for at least three months. Various comments suggest inconsistencies in the requirements across different locations and offer alternative solutions.

Did they actually reject the application or are they asking for more documentation? Any possibility to wait for a month and submit the doc then thereby not wasting your application fee?

I am applying from hk too for dependent visa most likely, wondering if they would need 6 months as well. I was reading on the website they need 3 months, did they asked you for 6 months?

it’s to be sure you have history and not transfer the money from a friend or family for the purpose of circumventing the system

As there were no central standard indicated for money to be in a bank, unlike for Retirement or Spousal visa, it would seem each Embassy or Consulate can apply whatever rules it wishes!

that will be great if they announce officially. A lot of costs and wasting time back and forward

Anonymous participant I understand but many of the different offices are run like little fiefdoms. As an example a different Immigration Office might have slightly interpretations of the rules for another. Unless the MFA who owns the DTV aligns globally it is something to live with and research where you are applying.
