Hi everyone!

I’m preparing my DTV application through the Thai Embassy in Rome (E-Visa) and would love some feedback on my financial documentation strategy. I’m applying under the Soft Power category (Thai Culinary Arts/Cooking Classes).

I have well over the 500k THB requirement in my personal Bank account, but my funds were recently moved from a Time Deposit (within the same bank) back to my Savings Account and finally to my Current Account to show the total balance for the application. Has anyone recently applied at the Rome Embassy? How strict are they currently with the "3-month history" if the money was internally moved between accounts (but stayed within the same bank)?

I’m applying as Unemployed since the Soft Power category doesn't strictly require current employment proof, unlike the Workcation route. Did you face any issues applying as "unemployed" as long as the 500k THB was present? Could the embassy deny the application without proofs of a stable income?

Thanks in advance for any tips or recent experiences!
Answer summary
An individual is applying for a DTV visa under the Soft Power category for Thai Culinary Arts through the Thai Embassy in Rome and is seeking advice on financial documentation. They have confirmed sufficient funds in their bank account but are concerned about recent internal transfers between accounts and the strictness of the 3-month history requirement. They are applying as unemployed and wonder if this status might affect their application approval despite meeting the financial criteria.
