TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around the potential challenges of applying for a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) in Thailand using income from Forex or share market trading. Contributors suggest that having a registered company might make the application easier, and emphasize the importance of providing tax proof and accessible funds. There are examples of individuals using trading or rental property income as proof of earnings. However, accessing funds from investment accounts may not align with application requirements, as officials typically seek funds in easily accessible accounts.

Some people have used their trading and investments or rental property income as proof of business / income for workcation, use the search function in the group

If your question is about investment account for 500k instead of savings/current account, usually no. They want to see funds in an accessible account. Dependening where you apply, some applicants in London have moved funds from investment accounts days/weeks before applying and were approved. It’s a risk and you’d have to demonstrate a strong financial position and write a good cover letter about your situation. Search the group for London

That will likely be tricky unless you have a registered company.

When you do this as a remote job for a company or clients it should be possible.

of course, the 500K is requirement for all DTV types.

The trading might only count as remote job if conditions are met.

yes but I don't think that's what he was asking, hence my clarification
