Bank Statements Visa Requirements Embassy Regulations Thailand Immigration Financial Documentation Expatriate Guidance

ORIGINAL POSTER

Can we create a list about how many months of bank statements each embassy requires? 

Seen so far:

Ho Chi Minh: 6 months

Yangon: 1 month

Vientiane: 3-6 months

Phnom Penh: 1 month

Hanoi: 6 months

EU: 1 month (Madrid 3)

US: 1 month

Jakarta: 1-2 months

This is undocumented by the embassies and will be a major reason why people get rejected. Many don't keep 500k cash in their bank account but have it invested into stocks, bonds, etc instead. Since broker account statements are not accepted, this rule can be a blocker.

TLDR : Answer Summary

This discussion aims to compile the various bank statement requirements for different embassies when applying for a visa to Thailand. The users have shared their experiences, noting the number of months of statements required, which varies greatly across locations. Key details indicate that Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi require 6 months, while places like Phnom Penh and US embassies often ask for only 1 month. Others, such as Vientiane, have fluctuated between 3 to 6 months recently. The community highlights that these requirements can complicate the visa process, especially for those with funds invested elsewhere, rather than liquid cash in bank accounts.

They want a minimum of 3 months worth of 500K parked in there. I confirmed with them. Even if you can provide 6 months or 12 months worth of statements, your application will be rejected if the minimum balance across at least the last 3 months prior to applying does not equal or exceed 500,000 Thai Baht.

When i applied Ho chi minh, i only have 100k in my account and I transferred the rest 400k from my friend just 1 week before i applied. They didn’t complain about that. They just need six months statement and closing balance.

In Poland - current balance. I've had money in my account for a long time, but my bank doesn't provide statements in English, and they requested an English version. I transferred money to another bank account and provided a statement a minute after.
