I wrote to the Thai Embassy in Delhi about the DTV. They replied that they were only granting to Indian nationals. I could apply if I liked but would most likely be declined

What I want to know is, did your bank statement have an amount equal to 500,000 baht for the past 6 months? Because I'm worried about this a bank case.
Andi ***********
@Zwe *********
You need 6 months statements and a ending balance of 500k THB for Vietnam. Not need 500K for every month of the 6mths.Zwe **********
@Andi **********
yes..plan to apply in Dec at HCM. So I am just asking a lot of questions.Andi ***********
@Zwe *********
Ok that is fine, if applying in person like Laos they may ask to see the latest balance on your mobile appReply to

thank your for your information 😊Claire ********
@Andi **********
So I could transfer my 500k now and would be ok for my application (which I plan to do January)?Andi ***********
@Claire *******
Yes but include 6 months statements. Your application approval will be delayed without the 6mths statements. Recent posts show applicants were requested to resubmit 3+ more monthly statements.Zwe **********
@Andi **********
I just want to ask about the bank statement. If I apply in December, can they count the December bank statement as 6 months? Because My bank opened in July. I want to apply on December 9.Can December be considered 6 months?Andi ***********
@Zwe *********
Yes that is fine.Zwe **********
@Andi **********
I understand. Thanks.Claire ********
