So I am curious how people think I should handle this situation. I leave for BKK dec 11. I am looking into the dtv and the thing that’s unclear to me is the format in which the 500k baht is in. I have multiple bank account and brokerages etc totaling well over 500k but obviously in different accounts that consistently have larger deposits and withdraws. If I send it all those statements do you think they will accept that?
Answer summary
The poster is inquiring about how to handle having more than 500,000 baht for a Thai visa in multiple bank accounts and brokerages. Responses suggest that while multiple accounts can be used, the funds need to be in readily accessible bank accounts, not in term deposits or brokerage accounts. One user noted that they successfully provided statements from two accounts, one with over 500k, while another mentioned that specific embassies may require further documentation or proof of consistent deposits.

before I applied, I mailed them asking how to deal with a situation similar to yours. the embassy clearly asked me to put all the money in a single bank saving account. When I replied asking if that would be an issue for the seasoning part (I had well over 500k but none of my 3 accounts could reach that quota) they said that I could also prove multiple accounts. I did as required, I submitted 2 bank accounts with one having over 500k (just few days prior my application) and another one with 300k. After I applied, the embassy required me further documents showing the money going from the company I worked with into my account (even tho I applied for soft powers) . Keep that in mind and good luck

The 500k (or whatever amount the embassy you apply at specifies) needs to be in instantly accessible bank accounts. Term deposits and brokerage accounts are not normally acceptable

Probably if you are well up 500k.

The 500k need to be in cash saving or available cash bank account ( no investment )

Multiple bank accounts can be accepted. Brokerage accounts are accepted by a few embassies in the USA. Where are you applying?

I know NY and Washington accept brokerage accounts. You can check with LA to see if they do.

Day traders and content creators have been approved for DTVs. Why is it hard to prove? Screenshot sites You use, income deposits, sample of work, contracts etc. You can find posts in the threads from such applicants. LA does not accept brokerage accounts going by a post a couple months ago back in the threads.
