Well its 800k in a THAI bank account (and need to sit in the account for a couple months in advance before you apply ) , or 65K a month coming from a foreign bank account to a thai banking account (If your embassy in Thailand issue income verification, not all do)

I will make sure I actually have a appointment when I arrived. Although the visa itself just say DTV, pretty sure immigration can see it was based on medical
