Officially from Ho chi minh in Vietnam for DTV Workcation, the information I read says we can use a sponsor for the 500k bhat in account.

After paying for the application they have stated that a sponsor is not allowed, and the funds need to be shown in my account for a minimum of 6 months.

Can anyone clarify why the sponsor cannot be accepted when everywhere I've looked it seemed a legitimate path?

Is this a glitch in the system? Did the rules change?

Just read this article (sorry, it is in French). The author seems to think that when you re-entre the country after your 180 days, you will be asked to justify the 500k in your account again.

Is this your experience?

Do we really need to have bank statements with us every time we get back?

I see that the 500K baht minimum can be reached through pay slips. However, most people are using bank account statements, perhaps because this is the most straightforward way to present financial data. If you have a regular salaried income, can you present 500K this way? If so, over what time period must the 500K be received?

Do you need the 500K baht in your bank account for a certain amount of time or is it okay to just be in there for 1-2 months? (Australian)
