TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is a UK passport holder applying for a visa at HCMC and has been requested multiple times for financial documentation, despite providing ample evidence of funds. Commenters share similar experiences and suggest submitting updated bank statements, screenshots of current balances, and additional verification such as a bank certificate. They also mention the importance of clarity regarding the currency and conversions to Thai Baht, as well as ensuring personal details are visible on submitted documents.

The UK ask for 6months of statements? I thought it was just as simple as having 500k baht

Anonymous participant They actually said no screenshots? As many people can't do a same day statement, they include the screenshot with the statements to show the current balance. I believe I may have read this on one of the official sites too.

This! I saw somewhere that a screenshot of current balance is suggested, so I submitted that along with the 6 months in savings. They (HCMC) only came back asking for salary in highlighted, but it seems OP already submitted.

Make sure your full name is on the statement and bank name and if possible your address also

If you can try get a certificate from bank showing current balance

Anonymous participant you need the entirety of the 500k in your personal account. Try to keep that separate from the business stuff (I'm assuming you are applying for workation)

Anonymous participant Mate I think this is the issue, I know people rejected for the same reason , they used the business account as proof of funds,and it was not accepted , it needs to be a personal bank account with your name and address in there.
