There you go . Again im trying to help and the most people here apply at neighbor countries. Imagine you are from bolivia i dont think there are any thai embassies there. If you apply in hanoi they WILL PREFER to see the account in usd . Prefer does not mean MUST 🙏

FirstNameLastName thats one way to look at it yes. I also remember a person that was applying in cambodia i think he was from the middle east and they specifically told them they need it to see the equivalent to thai bath or usd . Why would i make this up

I did not make a mistake. Read the whole message “YOU CAN ALWAYS EXPLAIN AS OF WHY YOUR ACCOUNT IS IN A DIFFERENT CURRENCY” But its ok brother the sky is red . All the best for you nick 🙏

@Nick ******
you applied in london and assuming you are british than of course you wont need to show usd that will be totally nonsense. The majority of the applicants apply in neighbor countries such as indonesia and vietnam cambodia laos etc. FOR THOSE they will prefer usd accounts. Prefer does not mean “MUST” read my comment im really in detail there 🙏

@Greg *******
still would not touch any bath if i was an applicant with dtv. The moment you mention thailand the moment they wil ask why how when etc. they will ask documents JUST TO MAKE SURE YOU DONT HAVE ANY ACTIVITIES IN THAILAND that will automatically disqualify you for the visa like thai clients and income directly linked to thailand. Why would someone have a thai bank account if they want to be considered a tourist in thailand. This is a tourist visa after all so i always advise to keep the story simple. They will suspect you want to do visa product change which i dont think you can do. This is what worked for me and what i have seen on similar scenarios with recent approvals 🙏

i based my answer on recent approval rejections. I watch this forum close and unless you are applying at your home country where there is a thai embassy you are asked to provide banks statements i would go with usd . So imagine you are australian and you are applying in Hanoi “THEY WILL PREFER THE SOURCE ACCOUNT TO BE IN USD “ . Last July is a long time so i would not count to be the case as of now. I travel for a living and have always been ok showing numbers is usd not because im american but just because its the standard 🙏

FirstNameLastName ok brother you win you are right i was wrong the entire time. I will keep you in mind next time i have concerns as of what currency i should use in a bank statement when applying for a visa. I think the term is “world reserve currency” going to ask chapgpt. Wait he agrees with me not because he is american but because this is how the world sees it . Good luck to you my friend you will need it 🙏

Cancellations/ rejections usually happen at the early stage if something is wrong in your data. If you pass the document check phase they can reject you for insufficient financial information. If they rejected you next day 100 % something was wrong in your passport info/data and place of issuance of your passport . Hope this helps 🙏
