I’ll be applying for the DTV VISA soon. I’m gathering my required information.
One requirement is 500,000 Baht ($15,500) in your bank account. I have more than enough money spread out amongst several accounts.
I have money in my bank checking account, bank high yield savings account, and also stocks account.
I don’t keep $15,000 in my bank checking account, only about $1000. Most of my money is in the high yield savings account and my stocks which are separate than my bank account.
1. Can I show on the DTV application that I have 3 separate accounts that equal well over the $15,000 requirement? Send in 3 account information? Including my stock account on Robinhood?
2. Do I need to consolidate the $15,000 into one account, say my bank checking account?
3. Can I show my stock portfolio? That has more than $15,000 required. Will they accept stock account such as Robinhood?
I’d rather not have to sell my stocks just to get that value into my bank checking account…
I keep very little in my checking account so my money can grow.
Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks everyone!
TLDR : Answer Summary
The DTV visa application requires proof of funds amounting to 500,000 Baht ($15,500). There are several concerns regarding whether funds from multiple accounts can be combined and if stocks can be considered. Most responses recommend contacting the specific embassy for clarification, as rules may vary. Generally, liquid funds in a checking or savings account are preferred, and stocks are often not accepted. If one has funds across several accounts, consolidating them into a single account may be necessary for application purposes.
