Will I be declined for a Thai visa if I don't have 3 months of required funds in my bank statements?

Hi 🙂 can anyone give me some advice?

I’ve been asked for 3 months bank statements (I initially supplied a closing balance only) and my payslips.

I had a large one off payment which contributed to me having the 500,000 baht within the last month. Am I likely to be declined because I haven’t had the required funds in my bank for 3 months? Can I explain this with a letter saying it’s a gift?

Thanks 🙂

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking advice regarding their visa application, specifically about providing bank statements and payslips. They have only provided a closing balance and received a request for 3 months of statements. They also mention having a recent large payment boosting their funds to 500,000 baht and are concerned about possible decline due to not meeting the 3-month requirement. Responses indicate that requirements may vary based on the application location, and some places may be flexible if the final balance is satisfactory.

Maybe. But, whatever advise we tell you is totally irrelevant. Provide the Embassy what they asked, and hope the luck is on your side.

It depends on where you apply. Some places want 3 months of statements but as long as the final balance is 500k baht its ok, others want to see 500k baht for the full 3 months
