Hello everyone I have a technical question regarding the $$ requirements. Suppose one has proof ofbthe 500K for the previous 6 months, however it is not kept in a "classic" bank account per se, but rather in an investment account in a well established financial firm.
Can anyone see any issue that might arise during visa approval process?
Alternatively, is there any benefit in transferring the $ to a "classic" bank account? Obviously in the recipient account there will not be statements of 6 months but rather a month or so.
Thanks
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is inquiring whether having the required 500,000 THB in an investment account for the past six months can suffice for Thai visa financial requirements, and if transferring funds to a traditional bank account would be beneficial. Responses indicate that requirements can vary by embassy, but generally suggest that funds should be in an immediately accessible personal bank account for a specific period, with some embassies allowing for shorter timelines. Users advise confirming the specific requirements based on the embassy application and ensuring the account is liquid.
