Hi, the information I have seen so far is that Malaysia is more strict and cannot even use electronic statements. It must be a physical seal. I heard that Cambodia will wait for more than a week? Would the embassy in Hanoi be better? Six months of statements are necessary, right? Proof of deposit is not enough. Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary
The conversation discusses the requirements for bank statements when applying for visas in Thailand and surrounding countries. It notes that Malaysia requires physical bank statements with a seal rather than electronic versions, while Cambodia typically takes around six business days for processing. There are references to varying requirements in Laos, where a minimum of three months of statements is required, and mentions the need for both banks statements and proof of deposit. The discussion also touches upon work restrictions for certain visa types in Thailand.

You do know you cannot work in Thailand with the DTV. This is for a Thai company or operating in Thailand in the Thai Market?

Yes, you are right. They have preferred to see bank statements with ink stamp.
