Wondering what the most up to date information is on applying with soft power invitation, not employment, from a neighbouring country of Thailand, (recommendations welcome)

is it a requirement to have had a certain income in the past 3-6 months, or just the required money in the bank proven by current bank statement? I’m trying to work out if it’s worth me applying and if I can qualify. Advice appreciated 🙏
Answer summary
The requirements for applying for a soft power invitation visa to Thailand can vary by embassy, with many now asking for 500,000 THB in savings shown in bank statements. While some embassies may not require proof of income, it is advisable to provide employment documentation if applicable, and excess funds to cover living costs may strengthen your application.

Different Embassy's ask for different requirements that can range from 1 month bank statements to 6 months, most now are ask for 500k funds shown in a bank account and also proof of income salary, wage slips , to support yourself while in Thailand, if you are unemployed I would recommend showing excess funds not only 500k but enough to support your living costs monthly upto 180 days, Soft power DTV you don't have to be employed but Embassy's are getting more strict

Certain income is not required but embassies are asking for employment documentation if employed for SP applicants. If unemployed, it maybe be advantageous to show more than 500K THB in savings,
