ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The application process for the DTV visa includes specific bank balance requirements that vary by embassy or consulate. While some embassies accept a closing balance on the day of application, others may require that the balance remain above 500,000 Baht for a period of 3 to 6 months prior to applying. It is advised to check the specific requirements of the embassy where one intends to apply, as they can differ. Most respondents suggest that applicants can handle the application process themselves without needing a lawyer, provided they have the necessary documentation.
