Can I use invested funds for my Thai visa application instead of liquid cash?
Hi all.
I want to apply from Italy.
No problem for the 500k.
My money are all invested through a broker (Interactive Brokers and Scalable).
Do you think it could be a problem?
Just in case I can sell some investments and buy again later, but I could loose money.
Thank you!
