The post discusses experiences related to meeting the bank deposit requirement of 12,000 USD (or equivalent in THB) for a Thai visa application. Comments highlight that applicants from Vietnam have successfully obtained visas with recent deposits, as there is no seasoning requirement in Vietnam. However, applicants from Hong Kong must be permanent residents and will need to show a higher amount, approximately 615,000 THB, due to differing financial stipulations.
