Hello! I have 3 bank statements. For my August and October bank statements I have over 500,000 baht but for my September bank statement I have 465,000baht. I’ll also have over 500,000 baht the day I apply do you know if that will qualify? Or will I need to wait 2 more months to apply so I’ll have 500,000 baht for October, November, and December? I’m applying for the soft power dtv. I already got my letter from the cooking class. I’m wanting to apply through Vietnam. Was planning flying into Vietnam on the 17th of November to apply. I’m open to apply in another country not far from Thailand if that embassy will be okay with the bank statements I currently have. Thank you!

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquires whether having two bank statements over 500,000 baht and one under 500,000 baht meets the financial requirements for a Thai DTV visa application, given their circumstances of applying through Vietnam. The community responses indicate that while maintaining around 500,000 baht is essential, occasional fluctuations may not significantly affect the application, and having solid financial stability is critical. Recommendations are given about selecting the appropriate embassy, with advice to choose Hanoi over HCMC due to processing times.

Just make sure to go to Hanoi and not HCMC. HCMC is experiencing major delays currently (I’ve been waiting now for over 3 weeks) while Hanoi is doing them in less than 10 business days.

Besides the defined amount of 500k what the embassies are looking for is financial stability and Independence. Having around 500K and then sinking a bit below one month is not a detriment in the big picture. Will you include your October statement?

Keep it simple 1 account with the required amount for the required time for the specific Embassy is sufficient.

It should be fine Every place is different Some only need the 500 k on the day before application

Vietnam does give approvals with a recent deposit of 500K along with several months of statements.
