Hi all

In the spirit of preparing for my long stay renewal, in 11 months, I was looking at this requirement: "– Applicant must have a bank deposit of no less than 3 million bahts in Thailand or....."

I was contemplating the idea of getting my 3 millions Bahts into a trading account.

Would that be allowed and considered valid with immigration ?

OK, but the question remains. There is a requirement for Non-O-X that goes as follow: ""– Applicant must have a bank deposit of no less than 3 million bahts in Thailand or.....show some revenue..."

My question is: Would having that 3 Millions in a trading account in Thailand qualify?
