Hanoi Tourist Visa Question:

"A bank statement in the past 6 months showing minimum fund of 20,000.- THB per person / 40,000.- THB per family" (from official website)

Curious if this means I need a (one) statement within the past 6 months that shows the minimum fund, or if this is actually a mis-translation and they want 6 months worth of statements?

Any recent news or such with getting a TV here?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The bank statement requirement for a tourist visa application appears to necessitate two documents: one showing the transactions over the past six months and another demonstrating a minimum balance of 20,000 THB at the time of application. Recent comments clarify that you need to provide a comprehensive bank statement for the last six months, which may include many pages, along with a confirmation that the current balance meets the required amount.

This is the answer from HCMC if that helps:

For the bank statement, the applicant needs to submit:

1 document showing the transactions within 6 months

1 document showing that the current account has an equivalent of 20.000 Baht

You can ask the bank to issue the documents 1 week before applying for the visa.

, super helpful. For the document showing the transactions within 6 months, practically that’s 1 document but many many pages yeah? They want 6 months of bank statements that show all the transactions?

Thanks for being “helpful” by repeating back to me what’s on the website, and not at all addressing the question 🤣

You need to have

on your bank account on the day you apply

that and the past 6 months statemenrs

6 months of bank statements showing a balance of 20,000+ in each month

@Brandon ***********
that doesn’t make sense. What your bank account balance was over the last 6 months is irrelevant to what you have now to support yourself during a visit.
