Are you able to use a Thai stock brokerage account to meet the 800,000 Baht annual deposit requirement for the retirement visa extension? If you are able to use, what exact document do you need from your stock brokerage account?
Answer summary
The consensus among commenters suggests that a Thai stock brokerage account cannot be used to meet the 800,000 Baht deposit requirement for the retirement visa extension. It is generally required to have the funds in a regular savings account with instant access to the balance. Those with fixed or interest accounts have reported refusals when attempting to use those for the visa extension. To ensure compliance, it's recommended to consult with the local immigration office for confirmation.

I believe you need instant access to the balance, because in theory, that 800k is the money you use to live on.

It sounds like these 3, 6, etc month interest accounts (similar to CDs) are not valid. Would like to know if someone has tried to use a Thai stock brokerage account.

No ....it has to be a savings account.......my first renewal a few years ago.... i got refused when i used an interest account (it was money that had been invested and matured and the bank put it in an interest account after maturity) i left it in there for 3 months thinking it would be ok.....got refused and was told by immigration it must be a savings acc.......i could not produce a savings account that had enough money in it for the required time.......so the guy with the uniform at the front in jomtien sorted it out but.....cost me a lot more and it went in his pocket!!

I do not believe it can be used, BUT you should visit your immigration office and check with them to be sure.

Probably because it was on a fixed longterm deposit and so not considered as available ?!?
