Can I open a bank account today, perform multiple transactions, and issue a bank statement to apply for for a visa next week? Is that possible?

Hello everyone I have a technical question regarding the $$ requirements. Suppose one has proof ofbthe 500K for the previous 6 months, however it is not kept in a "classic" bank account per se, but rather in an investment account in a well established financial firm.

Can anyone see any issue that might arise during visa approval process?

Alternatively, is there any benefit in transferring the $ to a "classic" bank account? Obviously in the recipient account there will not be statements of 6 months but rather a month or so.

Thanks

Does someone know what exactly I need to provide from the bank statement? It must be signed by my bank or i can just print the statement from my app without the stamp of the bank?

what if i have 500k in my account, transfer from yesterday, but for the last six months i haven't had any money in my account? i took time off from work.

Any experience on which embassies require notarized bank statements to show proof of 500.000 baht for DTV? Or are most ok with a print out (or electronic pdf) thanks!

Quick question people, can i use my Investment Portfolio over having the funds within your savings account?

How far back does the 500,000thb need to be in my bank statement to apply for the DTV. Any more info + tips on this?

Thanks in advance 🙏🏻

Hi, I have a question about the 500k baht requirement for Canadians. I'm sorry if this has been asked already (I couldn't find anything specifically addressing this).

Do funds within a Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) satisfy this requirement? I've read that "Investment" accounts through a brokerage won't work but in this case, I have a single TD Bank account that shows my usual Chequing/Savings accounts but also my TFSA and RRSP.

Thank you for any insight!

Wondering if anyone has been in a similar situation.

Currently working in Thailand with permit and visa, however my contract will end this month and will not be renewed.

My thoughts are to go freelance and move services online.

The DTV could be a great option for this. I'd leave the country once visa expires and apply out of country. However, I'm unsure how to show a portfolio of work with a new business.

What is currently being accepted as proof of work/portfolio documents?

Is there a requirement to show company registration or income from services?

Can we create a list about how many months of bank statements each embassy requires?

Seen so far:

Ho Chi Minh: 6 months

Yangon: 1 month

Vientiane: 3-6 months

Phnom Penh: 1 month

Hanoi: 6 months

EU: 1 month (Madrid 3)

US: 1 month

Jakarta: 1-2 months

This is undocumented by the embassies and will be a major reason why people get rejected. Many don't keep 500k cash in their bank account but have it invested into stocks, bonds, etc instead. Since broker account statements are not accepted, this rule can be a blocker.
