Reading the Thai Embassy requirements in Vientiane for a SETV as I booked an appointment, it states that proof of permanent address (mandatory for METV) and proof of adequate finances, 20K per month single and 40K per month for a family is required.
These seem to be new requirements since the appointment system was introduced and so I just wondered if they are actually requested on the application and if a Thai account is sufficient for funds. I will no doubt bring everything to cover all bases but just wondered what the experience of recent applicants was. (I am applying for a SETV).
Thanks in advance.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is inquiring about the requirements for a Thai Single Entry Tourist Visa (SETV) as stated by the Thai Embassy in Vientiane. They highlight the need for proof of permanent address and financial sufficiency, which include a monthly income of 20,000 THB for singles and 40,000 THB for families. The user is unsure if these requirements are strictly enforced based on their recent appointments and whether holding funds in a Thai bank account is adequate.
