Hello, does anyone have experience with using a Thai account to prove the 500,000 baht three months retroactively, and should I try or have to use my foreign account to provide the proof?

I'm planning on applying for a DTV Soft Power visa through the Los Angeles consulate and had a question about proof of funds. The account I keep $17k+ in that I would provide statements for proof is a high yield online savings account administered by Goldman Sachs. Its not an investment account, its just a savings account and any transfer requests to my checking are done within 24 hours. Has anyone had any issues with that type of account being used as proof of funds.

My checking account statements show ending monthly balances of about $8k-$9k. Would including statements from that and explaining that I keep most cash in the savings and can have access within 24 hours to the savings if the need should arise?

Hello, I have a question about the 500000 THB financial requirement. Has anyone been approved or know of someone who’s been approved with funds that were recently transferred? The funds I submitted were 3 months worth, but in an investment account, which I realized isn’t acceptable. I just transferred the funds to my checking account and plan to send this documentation once they hit. I’d like to know if this is sufficient. Applying from the Jakarta embassy.

If I have 2 accounts in the same bank, one with more than 500k (savings account) and one with less (main account) and my online work payments go into the one with less than 500k, would this be a problem for me when applying for DTV?

Flying into HCMC this Thursday to apply for the DTV freelancer visa. I have all my documents in order however I'm hearing mixed reports on the min balance of 500,000 baht requirement. Apparently it's getting more difficult there recently.

I have the balance in my bank account as of the end of January. I will only have last month's statement showing 500,000 baht and about 100,000baht for the previous 5 months.

If I wait a couple of days after i get to HCMC I could provide a second month with the balance for March when my monthly statements are issued, but would prefer to apply right away if it doesn't make a difference.

Can anyone confirm or deny this? Or is it hit or miss at the moment? Any advice?

TIA

For the past 6 months, I have had over the required amount in a TFSA (tax free savings account). Would this technically qualify as proof of "bank" statements? It's a TFSA managed under a private wealth and asset management company in Canada. I'm so new to this. Thanks for your input guys.

Regarding marriage visa is it true that the 400k needs to sit untouched in the bank for 2-3 months after the visa has been issued? thanks in advance.

Good morning to the community,

I have a question regarding the monthly 65000 baths transfer from abroad for retirement 1 year extension.

On thai admin website I read that it should come from pension. Is it correct and if yes how can I prove that these 65000 baths originate from my pension ?

Thks in advance

Have a nice day
