Hello everyone,

I hope you’re all doing well.

I have a question regarding the DTV application in Vientiane, Laos.

For the 500,000 THB financial requirement, do they expect you to have maintained 500,000 THB throughout the entire 3-month statement period?

Or do they simply review the last 3 months of bank statements to ensure everything looks legitimate and financially stable?

For example, would a situation like this be acceptable?

Month 1: 300,000 THB

Month 2: 400,000 THB

Month 3: 500,000+ THB

With 500,000+ THB available at the time of application.

Has anyone recently applied in Vientiane with a similar situation, and if so, what was your experience?

Thank you very much for your help.
Answer summary
The discussion centers around the financial criteria for the DTV application in Vientiane, Laos, specifically the requirement of maintaining at least 500,000 THB in a bank account over a three-month period. The consensus from various responses indicates that applicants are generally expected to have a consistent balance of 500,000 THB each month for the full three months, rather than simply averaging the balance over this time. Some respondents noted experiences where additional documentation, such as longer bank statements, was requested by the embassy.

When we did ours (4th QR 2025), they required a fully seasoned 3 months not below 500K Baht. So your scenario would not have been accepted.
