TLDR : Answer Summary

The question revolves around whether transferring $15,000 from stocks to a savings account for three months will suffice as proof of funds for a Thai DTV (Digital Nomad Visa). Comments suggest that while the funds must be present in a bank account for the required duration, the precise amount may need to exceed 500,000 THB due to exchange rate fluctuations.

So even if you have over

0 USD on stocks (where they make over 20% profit/year), they doesn't count? They have to be on bank account where they lose their value every month?

Well thats a rule I don't never understand... That's why I haven't ever applied visa because been thankful from my profiting funds. I can live with my interests, but not anymore if I sell them (and pay taxes) and move them to bank account.

It's not gambling when you are smart.

But is it allowed to move them back to stocks/funds from bank account when the DTV is approved?

Anonymer Teilnehmer 812 yes, but shares from stock market i can allways sell, so its a liquid asset. If i have a 15 Million account it will not be gone in 6 month. Understand it must be higher amount beceause of higher risk...

They don’t care what financial gymnastics you do

They want to see it in an acct for the recommended vested period

That’s it

Good luck

I used my investment savings statement rather than my checking account and gave them three months. No issue at all.

Sooo if the portfolio shows it equals 15,000+ that should be fine. Or even if you have retirement accounts.

Often times they won’t accept anything other than conventional chequing or savings accounts so no investments/crypto/gold/trading cards/rock collection.

No because 15k usd isn't 500k thb. That's currently worth 481,800thb. You should have more then enough in the account to cover fluctuations in conversion rates.

Yes, it'll work.

Calculate the conversion basis current exchange rate and keep a buffer of an additional 500 dollars. At Current exchange rate 500,000 THB is around 15,564 USD. So, having around 16,000 USD will be safe.

Duration is embassy dependent.

Can an investment account be used to prove the 500k baht requirement for a DTV in Thailand, and will I be taxed?
