Submitted soft power dtv in Shanghai, China. Got further document request for this. Has any one experienced this before? Does it mean 100,000 rmb closing balance with 12 months statement or frozen 100,000 rmb for the past 12 months?
Answer summary
The original poster inquired about a further document request for a DTV visa application submitted at the Thai consulate in Shanghai, specifically regarding the financial proof required. Commenters discussed the requirements, suggesting that the Thai consulate likely wants to see a balance of at least 100,000 RMB frozen in the bank account for the past 12 months, rather than just a closing balance or regular statements. Some advice included contacting the bank for a Bank Deposit Certificate and emphasizing that each Thai embassy can set its own requirements, leading to inconsistencies in information provided on the e-visa website.

For the financial proof:

You can contact your bank and request a Bank Deposit Certificate showing a balance of 100,000 RMB that is frozen for 12 months.

I think they want to see the money in there for a solid 12 months, that's my guess

Seems to be that way but it is completely unreasonable

Anonymous participant definitely does seem unreasonable when their own website says 500,000 THP for the last three months

Anonymous participant then send them a 12-month statement with whatever you have. Possibly a little cover letter. Have you read the Shanghai Thai consulates website requirements?

Anonymous participant the e-visa website is used by every Thai embassy. So the requirements shown there might not match the embassy you apply at. Each embassy can set their own requirements.

Anonymous participant well, supply what you have maybe include a screenshot/link of their website requirements. (be absolutely sure it's the thai embassy/consulate website Shanghai) And a brief humble apologetic confused cover letter relating to the funding requirements.
