ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello, 

I am currently in Thailand on tourist visa, my plan was to leave Thailand in mid october to go somewhere around to apply for the DTV visa

I just realised by reading posts from this group that I might need to show multiple months of bank statement of 500k but as of last week my bank account was close to 0$ .. since last week i started slowly selling some investment (3k CAD per day) to being my bank account close to 600k by next week.

My question is which is the best embassy for a smooth process in my case ?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is currently on a tourist visa in Thailand and plans to apply for a DTV visa. They express concern about meeting the bank statement requirement, as their account balance is close to zero but will reach 600,000 THB by next week through selling investments. Several commenters share their experiences with different embassies, noting varying requirements for bank statements and approval rates, particularly in Jakarta and Phnom Penh. It's suggested that having the required funds at the time of the statement is crucial, with some reporting success after submitting only one month of statements.

For Indonesia embassy, does it need to have the transfer not added some days before? And activities on the account?

As long as you have savings of required amount, and can prove you've been earning, you'll be fine. I did similar through Madrid, I had to provide 3 months of bank statements, and my savings was separate. I was approved within 12 days

This is not to be worry. I only deposited most of the cash a few days before i requested the statement. It’s ok as long as you have minimum 500k on the day your statement is printed.

I've only read and heard that you need 1 month of bank statements but that is for Europe/USA/Canada. Not sure about other countries. Following...

I don’t know first hand yet in other groups people have applied with the funds in the bank for 1 month and getting denied. Losing their 10,000 Baht.

It seems to depend on the Thai person that reviews it but i haven’t found anyone saying they were denied with more than 2 months in the bank tho.

There are some countries that simply are not keen on losing their tax paying citizens to Thailand. HK is likely one of those
