Hi everyone,

I submitted the request for DTV 

I have way more than 500.000 Thb in my whole banking assets but less on my liquid bank account (part of the money is in liquid investments).

I moved on the bank account part of them in order to reach 500000 thb but I cannot change the situation for the past 2 months and I have to leave in October (already bought the flight).

Did someone experience a similar situation ?

Answer summary

A user is facing challenges with the DTV visa application due to their bank account not reflecting the required 500,000 THB despite having sufficient funds in other forms. They ask for advice based on others' experiences. The discussion highlights issues with fund seasoning requirements and potential flexibility in Vietnam, suggesting users should maintain funds in the bank for a certain period to avoid scrutiny.

Vietnam is more flexible with the seasoning of funds. Recent approvals (July) have been given for day old deposits of 500k. If you join the main DTV group on FB you can find posts by such applicants approved for the DTV.

Thank you. Yes that what I heard. I heard the scrutiny has been on people who deposited all money in one day.

Matt DV Yeah, that can be a red flag and now majority of embassies in SEA have a requirement for funds to be banked for 3 months. You should be fine applying in Vietnam with your funds though.
