ORIGINAL POSTERHi 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!

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquires about using investment funds held in brokers as proof of financial stability for a Thai visa application, specifically the requirement for 500,000 THB. Multiple commenters emphasize that investments cannot be used as proof; liquid cash in a standard bank account is required instead.

Investments don't count as proof of finance. Has to be in cash on a private bank account
