ORIGINAL POSTER

Anyone applied for soft power in Vietnam and funds were mostly in their business bank?

Just thinking the statement would be in my company name then would need another piece of paper showing that I own the company 

Makes it a little complicated for the person reading the application I feel

TLDR : Answer Summary

When applying for a visa in Thailand, applicants must show that the required funds (500,000 THB) are held in a personal bank account rather than a business bank account. This is essential to avoid application rejection, as using business funds complicates the process.

You will be rejected if you try and use funds in a business account for the 500k baht requirement. Use your business account to prove your work, matching up invoices to receipts for example
