Will having over 500,000 baht in my savings account for 2 months suffice for DTV visa approval in Thailand?

Hi everyone,

I’m applying for the DTV at the Thai embassy in Jakarta and wanted to check something. I’ve had over 500,000 baht in my savings account for a bit more than 2 months (but not quite 3 months yet). The funds were transferred from a term deposit account into my savings account more than 2 months ago. Do you think that will be sufficient for the embassy to approve the visa?

Also, would adding a Thai bank account (alongside my non-Thai one) help increase the chances of approval? Or would that just complicate things?

The official website says a 3-month bank statement is required—do you think it’s safer to submit a 6-month statement instead?

If you have any relevant experience or helpful info, I’d really appreciate your input. Thanks in advance!

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is inquiring about requirements for obtaining a DTV visa at the Thai embassy in Jakarta, specifically regarding the sufficiency of having over 500,000 baht in a savings account for slightly more than 2 months. They also seek advice on whether adding a Thai bank account would improve their chances of approval and whether submitting a 6-month bank statement instead of a 3-month one would be beneficial. Comments suggest that while Jakarta has no seasoning requirement for the funds, longer statements could strengthen the application, and a Thai bank account may not be necessary.

no need to apply a thailand bank account, coz DTV holders should get salary from other country. If you told them you will get the salary by thailand bank,then things becomes complicated, because you need to prove you are not working for thai company or thai clients and you need to prove that you didnt earn thailand baht.

I’m not applying via the workation route so no salary is involved in the Thai bank account. But possibly a Thai bank account may complicate things.

Jakarta has no seasoning requirement for the 500k. 6 months of statements strengthens your application. Majority are approved without a Thai bank account.

Try it and you'll know... 🤔 If you feel unsafe not following the basic requirements, then wait until fulfilling them. No one is able to guarantee anything here. That's the embassy you need to contact.

Anonymous participant 509 didn’t see anywhere in the official requirement mentioning about how long the funds need to be in the account.
