Applicant showed over 500,000 THB equivalent for 3 months, around USD 18,000. — DTV Rejected. Reason given: Low balance. (Los Angeles, USA)
- Case ID: DTV-REJ-004
- Embassy: Los Angeles, USA
- Category: rejection
- Outcome: Rejected. Reason given: Low balance.
- Timeline: Second application. Rejected again.
Key issue
Embassy stated that 500,000 THB is only the minimum required amount and not a guaranteed amount for eligibility.
What worked
Applicant met the stated minimum threshold.
What failed / caused friction
Funds may have been considered too close to minimum, insufficiently stable, or not strong enough overall.
Takeaway
500,000 THB should be treated as a minimum threshold, not a safe approval target. A higher balance and longer history may reduce risk.
