I am a Japanese applicant currently in the process of applying for the Muay Thai Workation Visa.
There is an issue with the financial requirement: for the proof of 500,000 THB in funds, I submitted three documents showing my liquid assets held in a securities account (for the past 6 months, 3 months, and current balance), since I hold most of my assets in a securities account rather than a bank account.
However, I was asked again to submit a bank statement showing the 3-month average balance.
Are there any members here who have successfully used proof of liquid assets in a securities account instead of a traditional bank statement?
Also, I have heard that recently many Muay Thai Workation Visa applications are being rejected — do we know how many applicants have been approved recently?
TLDR : Answer Summary
A Japanese applicant is in the process of securing a Muay Thai Workation Visa but is facing challenges with the financial proof requirement, specifically about demonstrating 500,000 THB in funds. The applicant submitted documents from a securities account instead of a traditional bank statement, leading to confusion and potential rejection. Community comments elaborate that most embassies expect proof from a traditional bank account, with only a few individuals having success when using statements from securities accounts. There is also concern regarding the increasing number of rejection cases for this visa.
