ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
There is confusion regarding the bank statement requirements for the Thailand DTV Visa, specifically concerning the necessary duration the required funds must be held in the bank. While many Asian embassies may ask for a statement showing the required amount of 500,000 THB (approximately $14,500) for up to six months, some US embassies may accept a three-month statement or only look at the final balance at the time of application. It is recommended to check with the specific embassy where you will be applying, as they may have differing rules on the necessity of 'seasoning' (the duration the funds have been in the account) versus simply requiring evidence of the final balance.
