What are the requirements for the 500,000 THB financial proof for a Thai visa application from the Jakarta embassy?

Question

Hello, I have a question about the 500000 THB financial requirement. Has anyone been approved or know of someone who’s been approved with funds that were recently transferred? The funds I submitted were 3 months worth, but in an investment account, which I realized isn’t acceptable. I just transferred the funds to my checking account and plan to send this documentation once they hit. I’d like to know if this is sufficient. Applying from the Jakarta embassy.

The 500,000 THB financial requirement involves showing proof of funds in your checking account. If you recently transferred these funds from an investment account, you may still be approved, but there are risks as some have faced rejections due to recent fund activity. Submitting a cover letter explaining your financial situation, including past fund storage and your financial stability, may help. The Jakarta embassy's guidelines suggest that while there is no strict period required for funds to be in your account, they are being stricter in approvals.

You can search this query with keywords like “Jakarta” or “500k” at the top of the group page to see other people’s experiences with this and at that embassy. You’ll get a lot of good info from posts and also comments. Some people were approved with the funds moved recently and some have been rejected and suspect the recent transfer of the 500k was the cause.

You can write a cover letter to explain your financial situation. This can be a good way to convince the embassy you can support yourself financially, even if the funds haven’t been seasoned in your account for long. The Jakarta embassy doesn’t state a timeframe for funds being in your account but all embassies are getting stricter. This is from the Jakarta website for DTV [url redacted]

In your cover letter you can explain where your finances have been stored and why they had moved recently and demonstrate you can support yourself and have ongoing income. Include why you want to be in Thailand and that you won’t work in Thailand and will adhere to all regulations. With enough evidence and a strong story which is easy for them to understand, it should be ok. Good luck!
