Does *proof of funds* need to be a checking/savings (cash) account, or will they accept a brokerage account? Do funds need to be seasoned?
Most of my emergency fund is in $SWVXX.
Trying to figure out if I need to move cash into checking and eat the lost interest, or if brokerage statements are acceptable.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The conversation discusses the requirements for proof of funds in relation to Thai visa applications. It highlights that while personal bank accounts are preferred, some US embassies may accept brokerage accounts. However, the majority require funds to be in an easily accessible personal account, ideally seasoned for at least three months to demonstrate stability. Specific embassy regulations may vary, but using a checking or savings account is generally considered best practice.
