Savings account ok for 500k baht requirement?

I have a help-to-buy ISA savings account in the UK which has just under 400 baht (equivalent) in it. Can I use statements from this account and my current/checking account when applying for the visa?

I can't move all the money into one account because this ISA only lets me deposit £200 per month maximum so I can't add what is needed to make it 500 baht, and I want to keep the money in there unless I needed it for an emergency for the savings benefits so would prefer not to move it all into my current/checking account.

Answer summary

The user inquires whether they can use a savings account (ISA) from the UK, along with their current/checking account, to meet the 500,000 baht financial requirement for a Thai visa. Comments indicate that while combining accounts is generally accepted, the ISA may not qualify due to its limited accessibility.

You can combine two or more accounts but they require that the accounts are accesible fully at all times. Not sure about ISA since i dont know anything about it

The fact that you already mention you cannot move the money in this account unlimited, shows it is not direct accessable and therefore not useable to show funds for the visa process.
