Hello,

I have a bit of a niche situation to ask about, but I'm hoping its relevant to at least some people.

I'm an American living in Korea with more than 500K Baht in a Korean bank account for several years.

My Korean visa will expire next month and, while my bank account won't close, I won't have access to it internationally, therefore I'm planning to move most/all of my funds to a global account like Wise.

I'm planning to go to Thailand on a Tourist visa next month, and then at some point take a trip to Vietnam to apply for the soft power DTV (or Workation, depending on how my freelancing goes) at the embassy there.

My question boils down to, at the point that I apply to the embassy in Vietnam, I would need to show 500K baht in my current (i.e. Wise) account for 3+ months, right? Therefore I should move those funds from my Korean account to that account as soon as possible, and/or expect to do a single visa run to renew my tourist visa to a total of 4 months, right?

Additionally, what kind of proof of income do embassies in Vietnam usually ask for?

Thank you in advance!
