Does Manila require a DTV interview or three months of 500k balance?
At least one community report says Manila asked interview-style questions about business and required three months of 500k balance before keeping the application open. Treat this as embassy-specific planning context, not a universal rule.
What applicants reported
Embassy-specific reports are some of the strongest data because they show friction applicants did not expect from generic requirements pages.
What to prepare
- Prepare to explain business, work, or route evidence clearly.
- Bring or upload three months of bank statements if applying through a stricter post.
- Check current Manila instructions before relying on older community reports.
Important caution
One embassy report should not be generalized to all Thai embassies.
