Hi there! Quick questions for anyone familiar with the DTV visa process for Thailand:

1️⃣ Do you need to stay outside Thailand for 3 months before applying for the DTV visa at a Thai embassy (e.g., in Hanoi)?

2️⃣ For the 500,000 baht bank statement, does the bank need to be the same one where salary slips are issued, or can it be from a different bank?

Appreciate any insights! Thanks!

TLDR : Answer Summary
The DTV visa application process does not require you to stay outside Thailand for three months before applying, and any bank account can be used as long as it meets the balance requirement of 500,000 baht.

No you just have to be out of Thailand while you apply and any savings type bank account will work Good luck

There is no requirement to be out of Thailand any amount of time to apply for any visa.

Any bank account will work as long as it has the proper balance.
