Can I use my 401k, IRA, or brokerage account as financial proof for a visa in Thailand?
When it comes to the financial proof can I use my 401k, IRA or brokerage account? I have more than enough in different investments accounts. I am an American.
Answer summary
The general consensus is that only liquid assets can be used as financial proof for visa applications in Thailand. Accounts like 401k, IRA, or brokerage accounts may not be accepted. It's advised to liquidate your investment holdings and transfer the funds to a personal checking account, allowing them to remain there for at least three months. Visa authorities prefer liquid assets readily available in a bank account with statements showing your name and address.

Liquid and also they like it in one account. I uploaded 3 accounts all had more than the request amount, I was asked to re-upload new documents. I did a second time thinking I did something wrong revived same issue. I then uploaded 1 account I was approved days after.

Liquid cash only! Liquidate your investment holdings into personal account let it marinate for 3 months

I , literally, moved money from my brokerage account to my checking account for 3 months for this very reason.

Has to be liquid. They don’t even like liquid accounts with an investing firm from what I’ve seen.

Move the dough to a Bank for the 3 months.. I know Fidility has Spaxx a money Market Vangaurd has one ect..account but it won't work. They want a bank with statements, preferably with your address on statements. Its better your doing your research ahead of your Non refundable $400 bucks donation/fee.

PERSONAL ACCOUNT only.
Immediately available money only, so you in example can pay a hospital bill before you get treatment.
