it sounds like many are using Wise accounts and have been ok. I have no idea, but I applied via HCM from Phu Quoc.... it's an unknown waiting game. I would call the Thai consulate in HCM, the lady is pretty helpful and kind.
it's a little different to Wise, my bank has a proof of balance option, it looks like a letter stating your balance with the current date. The statements only run quarterly. So the next one technically would be ready at the end of Nov. Annoying but 💁
closing balance is in August. So I combined the two docs into a pdf. One is proof of balance with current date and one is the most recent statement June to Aug.
Thank you for all the info. Trying to figure out if its safer and quicker to go back to Australia or try from Vietnam. Others seem to have had luck with both.
