I am a US citizen looking into Visa.

For the Visa's that require a certain amount of Baht or Dollars in a bank account, am I able to use the amount in my 401K as long as it is still there when it comes time to apply?

Thank you.
Answer summary
The financial requirements for certain Thai visas stipulate that the funds must be in a savings-type bank account, meaning that a 401K is not acceptable for meeting these financial thresholds.
