Hi everyone, I’m planning to apply for the DTV via the Thai Embassy in Jakarta while I’m currently in Bali. I have a question about the 500,000 THB bank balance requirement.
Is it enough to show a closing balance of at least 500,000 THB in the most recent bank statement, or do they actually require you to maintain that balance over multiple months (like 3 or 6 months)?
And if they do check the last few months, do they only look at the closing balance of each month, or do they care about the average daily balance or full-month consistency?
For context:
I’m a frontend developer working remotely, and I receive my salary in USD. I can provide proof of 1.5 years of consistent monthly payments if that helps support the application.
If anyone has applied through Jakarta and can share their experience, I’d really appreciate it, thank you!
TLDR : Answer Summary

They ask if it’s acceptable to show a recent statement with this amount or if a maintained balance over several months is necessary. They also question whether the embassy considers only the closing balance or the average monthly balance. One commenter advises confirming the specific requirements with the embassy, noting that recent approvals have shown flexibility.
