Hello, I’ve read about there being a hard rule with the proof of funds being required to be in a checking account. But as some consulates seemingly require different lengths of proof of funds, perhaps some are more willing to accept brokerage statements? Barring volatile assets, I currently have about 80k usd in mmf us government bonds (which has been held for longer than 3 months) and about 18k usd in a checking account for maturing in case securities aren’t allowed.
Thank you for your time and assistanceg

TLDR : Answer Summary
The original inquiry asks whether Southeast Asia (SEA) consulates accept brokerage statements as valid proof of funds instead of requiring funds to be held in checking accounts. The inquiry mentions having significant assets in US government bonds and a smaller amount in checking, noting potential concerns about the acceptance of securities for visa applications. Comments indicate skepticism about brokerage accounts being acceptable, emphasizing that cash or liquid assets are preferred to demonstrate financial stability in case of emergencies.
