It should be in a regular checking or savings account or an account that has instant access. It can not be in a brokerage account.

Shuvam Dutta then it should work but it is up to the Thai government official who looks at it. I used a checking account from Bank of America the last time I got a visa in the US. Last two times in Thailand I changed from a tourist exempt entry to a non immigrant based on retirement and now a one year extension of permission to stay in the Kingdom for a year. But I have two Thai bank accounts that I have had for twenty years.

Like I said I have had two Thai bank accounts for twenty years now and doing my own visas for the entire time. I know what I’m doing, thank you.

Jim McGowan for the 90 day single entry, your foreign account is fine, but for one year multiple entry, they insist on either,

A Thai Account

Or

A certified document from my Embassy
