Has anyone used investments as proof of funds? I only keep 6 months worth of money in banks(I have low outgoings), the rest is invested. Just need to know if someone has managed to use proof of capital via investments?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The consensus among users indicates that investments such as stocks, cryptocurrencies, and other non-liquid assets are typically not accepted as proof of funds for visa applications in Thailand. It is advised to show liquid assets like cash in a bank account. Some users have successfully used accounts like CDs or high-yield savings accounts, but generally, funds must be readily accessible.

Yes I used my CD account and a high yield savings account

I understand your funds to be liquid. I mixed my currency with tap water, blended it good and marked the jars with the totals. Though, since you're traveling with liquid assets it has to be carried in your checked baggage.

Fiat currency in a bank account.. Investments and broker accounts dont (generally) qualify.

A few embassies in USA except investment accounts. Vast majority worldwide do not.

Has to be liquid.

Get a line of credit against your investments and then show the cash

No, you need liquid funds either in current or saving account under your name; not a business account. Nothing else, not even mutual funds, bonds, debentures, shares, crypto, nothing.

Believe it’s a requirement to be liquid, accessible cash.

can confirm that. I had life insurance money on an account and they refuse to take it in consideration.
