So is it 500k baht cumulatively over the past 6 months of bank statements? Or is it 500k baht shown as a closing balance each month of those 6 months?? 

Applying in Ho Chi Mihn soon!

Thanks!!

Answer summary

The financial requirement for a Thai visa application is to show a bank account with a closing balance of at least 500,000 Baht at the end of a month, within the last six months. Applicants need to submit a document detailing transactions over the past six months along with a statement reflecting the required balance. Different experiences among applicants suggest some variability in individual circumstances.

Embassy replied to my email and said

"Regarding financial statement, applicant need to submit:

- 1 document showing the transactions within 6 months.

- 1 document showing the account balance or a combination of a deposit accounts/saving account/bank account totaling not less than 500,000 Baht.

Kindly note that it can be in any banks, any currencies. Stock/Crypto/Bitcoin/Investment/Business/PayPal account and sponsor are not accepted for DTV"

I guess it depends on the person who is handling your case since everyone’s experience seems to be different. That makes it so confusing. 🥲

Do they ask to log in to your bank acc or just ask for statements?

They just ask for statements. Embassies that did in person applications would sometimes ask you to log in to your account. If asked for an interview it is possible you could be asked to show your account online.

Yeah I applied offline in Taipei and had an interview although it was not too bad. They frequently interview online applicants there though.

That’s not true. My bank account went from 3 million ฿ in the past six months to ฿250,000 and then back up to 500,000 so it does not have to be every month as long as the ending statement has 500,000 or more.

It needs to be above 500,000 for 3 consecutive months in Laos, no exceptions.

Not closing balance every month, but every day...if you apply in KL or Laos, you can't allow the balance to go below 500,000 for 3 months in the case of Laos or 6 months in the case of Malaysia.

NOT necessarily. It depends on the requirements for the DTV visa set by the Thai Embassy or Consulate where you are going to apply for the DTV visa.

for my situation, the first 3 months will not be a closing balance of 500k, as I was approaching it. But the final 3 will. Any idea if that would qualify?

@Drew ***************

yes you will qualify Three months of my bank account accounts were less than ฿250,000 but my last statement was over ฿500,000.

You qualify for Vietnam with those 6 months.

That is fine, Vietnam is fine with a final balance of 500k THB and 6 months of statements.
