What is the bank balance requirement for applying for a Thai visa, 500k total over 6 months or per month?
Hello, guys!
I have confusion with the 500k requirement:
did you have to show the bank statement with 500k total for the 6 months, or 500k for every month?
I will apply next week, so i will be very appreciate for little help!

Answer summary
The 500k requirement for a Thai visa can be confusing. It generally refers to maintaining a total of 500,000 THB in your bank account, but the interpretation can vary by embassy. Some users report that this 500k needs to be consistent every month, while others have successfully used bank statements showing the amount on a specific date. The official guidelines generally specify maintaining the amount over a period of three months. However, experiences differ among applicants based on the specific embassy handling the application.

I showed a statement totalling 500k, and there was nothing saying for how long I had it, so you can transfer 500k, apply and then take it out.

I showed the most current bank statement that showed more than 500k. Just one. I didn't put 6 together in one PDF like other people did. Once you attach one document, you can't attach anymore. I still got approved from Los Angeles.

Really depends on the embassy I think. I’ve seen lots of people in here. Note the money only went in the bank a day or a week before and got these was no problems.
And I’ve seen other people at other embassies get knocked back because it wasn’t in there for three months
