Can the proof of funds be in a South African bank account? Is there any stipulation about how long the funds have to have been in the account or how long they have to remain there?

look at the Thai Embassy or Consulate websites for their requirements for the DVT visa. They do vary between Thai Embassy or Consulate.

This is amazing because this is the second time I've heard of the concept of getting away without losing your $400 if rejected???? Very kind if they ultimately do that. With my us application everything said non-refundable
