Hi all,

Would I be able to get a DTV by showing over 20k in stocks and shares? If not, if I sold the shares and put it into my bank account, how long does the money have to be there for?
Answer summary
To apply for a DTV visa in Thailand, you cannot use stocks or shares as qualifying funds. Instead, you need to have at least 500,000 THB or equivalent in liquid cash in a personal bank account. This amount must typically be held for a duration of 1 to 6 months before your application, depending on the embassy where you apply.

Stocks, crypto, investments aren't treated as liquid. Money needs to be in savings bank account (liquid).

Duration of holding 500,000 THB is dependent on which embassy you apply at and you should check the website of that specific embassy.
