Hey everyone,

I’m flying to Hanoi next week to apply for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) – workation route.

Here’s my situation with the bank statement (the famous 500k THB for 3+ months rule):

• I run a fully online e-commerce business registered in my home country.

• I am the sole owner and only person with access/signatory.

• The company bank account is under my full legal name + “Company Ltd” (or LLC, whatever the equivalent is) at the end.

• This account has had well above 500k THB (actually way more) sitting there for over 3 months, and the turnover in the last 6–8 months is in the multiple millions of baht (lots of incoming and outgoing payments from platforms, suppliers, ads, etc.).

• I use this company account for pretty much everything tax-wise: rent, internet, food, transportation, travel – all legally declared as business expenses in my country because the business is 100% online/location-independent.

I do have a personal account, but it has basically zero history and almost no money in it right now.

My question to people who already went through the DTV process (especially in Hanoi or other “strict” embassies):

1. Have you successfully used a company bank account that has your personal name + “Ltd/LLC/Co. Ltd” at the end? Did they accept it without any drama?

2. Or would you play it safe and transfer the money to a clean personal account now (even if that personal account will only have the money + transfer for a couple of weeks before I print the statement)?

I know some people say “only personal account” but I’ve also seen recent reports of company accounts being accepted as long as your name is clearly on it and you can prove you’re the sole owner.

What would you do in my shoes? Leave it in the very solid company account (tons of history, huge turnover, balance never dropped below the requirement) or rush a transfer to personal and lose most of the transaction history?

Appreciate any recent experiences – especially Hanoi consulate!

Thanks
