What are the requirements for showing bank statements when applying for a Thai visa from abroad?
Talked to an agent today. I live in austria but id have the 500.000 baht on an US bank account.
My plan was to apply in hanoi or hcmc.
Her advise was to:
- transfer the money to a Bank in europe
- money has to be on the account for 6month.
Can anyone confirm this or heared similar?

Answer summary
A user in Austria is seeking confirmation of the advice given by an agent regarding the requirement of holding 500,000 baht in a bank account for 6 months prior to applying for a Thai visa. Various commenters share their experiences, stating that as long as the bank account is in the applicant's name, the funds can be held in a US account, and different consulates have varying requirements for the duration bank statements need to be provided (3 to 6 months). Some users suggest the applicant should handle the application themselves directly to avoid reliance on agents.

Thailand made it easy. There is one website to apply, even your agent is going to use this website.
You can make an account, start the application and you have 14 days to edit or change documents before it disappear from the site OR before you decide to apply and make the payments.
All questions and requirements are on that website.
Try it, it makes life so easy:
If you have any questions, there is even a user manual.

Loads of rejections from there now. Maybe that's the reason.

I just applied today in Hanoi for soft power. I submitted 6 months of bank statements but only had >$16k USD for the last 3. I can report back next week and let you know what my outcome is 🤞

Anonymous participant 777 IMHO you should be fine. You're over doing it because Hanoi requires only the last 3 months statements. HCMN requires last 6 months.

As long as the account is in your name it can be anywhere ,within reason, in the world. North Korea may not pass but a US account will be perfectly ok

Apply in hanoi, show the american account as long its in your name

HCMN VNM is the only consulate requiring bank statements for the last 6 months. All the other ones 3 months.

Throw her advice in the bin and just apply by yourself directly.

The agent doesn't know what they're talking about. It's true that the consulate might ask for 3 to 6 months of statements but doesn't mean the 500,000 has to be in all that time.

some embassies do. ;)

Chicago consulate wanted to see seasoned funds from me, so in my case, it did need to be 'in all that time'.Wannikea *********

I didn't claim it was. I was clarifying that not all consulates are consistent, and that it can change at any time, but thank you for your input anyway.

I heard 3 months and am counting on it. I do see people on here who applied with 3 month, some cases less and were approved.
