Seeking a straightforward answer to my question regarding the DTV visa application process
I have all the requirements, but my query revolves around the 500,000 thb sum in a bank account in my name, now online I read 100x different things, some saying I need 6 months of statements, some saying I need 2, some even saying that this isn’t that important, and it’s left me confused looking for a straightforward answer.
I have the 500,000 thb funds, but it’s currently sitting in a family savings account under my brothers name, as soon as I want to apply my plan was to just transfer that into my account then start the process! will I still be accepted if I transfer this into my account a couple of weeks before doing my application? Or do I have to transfer it now, then wait a whole six months before I can apply? As this seems like a nightmare when realistically I want to apply as soon as possible!
If anyone has dealt with this before and can provide any information or experience it would be greatly appreciated
Cheers!
TLDR : Answer Summary
The application process for a Thai DTV visa can be confusing, particularly regarding the requirement for having 500,000 THB in your own bank account. While it is essential for the funds to be in your name, the length of time the money needs to be held in your account varies by embassy; requirements can range from no seasoning to needing up to six months of bank statements. It's advised to consult with the specific embassy you're applying to for their exact policies, as the rules may differ. Transferring the funds into your account shortly before applying might be acceptable, but it's best to document both the movement of funds and any existing statements showing the money in your brother's account to clarify ownership.
