ORIGINAL POSTER

I was looking at the Sydney Thai Consulate website and it states that there is a 5 year visa (assume it's OA since it follows directly under that section) that is available to citizens of a select number countries.  Additional requirements are "deposit account of at least THB 3M, or statement of income with an annual amount of more than THB 1.2M, or a deposit account plus monthly income with a total amount of THB 3M a year. And evidence of health insurance from a Thai insurance company.

My question  - are holdings of stocks and bonds sufficient evidence of a deposit account or does it have to be cash?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The post discusses the requirements for a 5-year Non-Immigrant OA visa for Thai residency, including financial conditions such as maintaining a deposit account or proving annual income. The user inquires whether holdings in stocks and bonds can be considered sufficient evidence for the required deposit account. Comments clarify that typically, cash deposits in a Thai bank are necessary, and that a brokerage account does not meet the deposit requirement.

The blurb on the Sydney website didn't state it needs to be in a Thai bank account though. Thanks anyway. Not going to lock up at that cash in a Thai bank.

A brokerage account is not a bank deposit account.
