Hello, French citizen, UAE resident who applied for DTV Thailand as remote worker. I have the sufficient fund in my French account and provided statement but the authorities came back with the following requirement : “Please upload your personal Bank Statement in UAE with a minimum amount no less than THB 500,000 within the last 3 months and ensure it is updated until July 2025.” What are my options as sending the fund to UAE would still not meet the requirement of 3 months.

I thought that the funds were linked to the individual not the country of application.

Does anybody know what are the requirements in terms of funds proof in Penang right now (for TR visa)? When I was there 3 months ago, they were asking for the last 3 months' bank statement, with over 40K funds available. Also, would you recommend showing a Thai bank account? Thanks

Just to share a very positive experience this morning at the embassy in Yangon. Arrived at 8.45, small queue. Very helpful staff. Picking my non o (volunteer) visa up tomorrow. Two of my $20 notes weren't good enough but an office just next door swapped them for me. I did notice they were asking everyone, wanting a tourist visa, for proof of onward travel and funds.
