ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The consensus among community members is that liquid stock does not qualify as part of the $16,000 requirement for the Thailand Retirement Visa (DTV). Participants emphasized that the funds must be in a regular checking or savings account, with multiple comments mentioning past experiences of needing to liquidate stocks to meet the visa requirements. Additionally, a side conversation about the cost of furnishing an apartment in Phuket emerged, but it remains separate from the primary question at hand.
