ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi everybody, i have a question : if i show the 500k baths on a saving account, won’t they ask to see a paper explaining thoses funds are disponible immediately ? I don’t have such a paper + bank statements are written in french. I also don’t have a monthly statement for that account. Just one every year, so i will show a statement showing the 500k balance on januray 24 and another one one year later, jan 25, showing the funds haven’t moved.

Any advice please ?

Thanks for reading 🙏🏻😊

TLDR : Answer Summary

The original question pertains to using a single savings account statement showing 500,000 THB for a Thai visa application, without additional paperwork indicating immediate fund availability. Responses suggest that recent, up-to-date bank statements are typically required, with some embassies asking for statements no older than 30 days. It's also important that the account type allows easy access to funds, as term deposits may complicate the application. Suggestions include contacting the bank to obtain the needed statements and ensuring documentation is available in English if required.

I know that every situation is different based on responses from this group but I have multiple accounts and simply moved the required amount to one account over the course of a couple of days and sent that document and it was approved for me with no further questions asked from immigration. Although my one bank was wondering wtf was going on and froze my account until I explained to them what I was doing.

The statements are likely to be an issue but it will also be an issue if it's a term deposit or any sort of account that doesn't allow instant access. It might be an idea to move the money into a standard account, one which you get monthly statements for and the money is instantly accessible. Normally there is no requirement to show the money is in the account for 6 months, it's enough just to show 6 months of activity with a closing balance showing the required funds

As long as the account shows your name and fulfills the embassy's requirements about how may months they should be there, you're okay.

But you might need to translate it to English.

You will need to check with the embassy you apply from if they accept your savings account. Vast majority of embassies want the 500k in a regular easy accessible account with 6 monthly statements.

Vietnam just requires a final balance of 500K THB, no minimum banked time for the balance. You could apply with just the statement but could be asked to show additional 5-6 months of statements.

Bank statement need to be less than 30days old i believe and at times they may request an even closer date to your application, am not 100 on the movement in the account though.

This is true. I was asked to update the statement, because it was made about two weeks before applying.

Is it acceptable to use bank statements from multiple accounts to prove earnings for a visa application in Thailand?
