Hi everyone,

we're flying to Thailand on July 17, and after researching different visa options, I feel that the DTV visa is the most suitable and future-proof solution for me and my family.

I have two questions regarding the financial requirement (500,000 THB / approx. €12,500):

1. Is it sufficient to have the money in the account at the time of application, even if it hasn’t been there for the full three months? I do have access to the required funds, but they’ve been held in other forms of investment (not in my current bank account). The money could be transferred to the account temporarily if needed, so the funds are available.

2. Do I need to show 500,000 THB per person, meaning a total of 2 million THB (~€50,000) for our family of four? Or is one combined proof of funds for the family sufficient and how much should it be?

Anyone with up-to-date info or experience would be a huge help,

thanks in advance!!

P.S. The application for the DTV is processed through the Thai Embassy in Frankfurt. My wife, my two children, and I are all German passport holders.
