Hi everyone, 

Might be a silly question but would a premium bonds account be sufficient as a bank account to prove the 500,000 baht or has anyone used their premium bonds account as proof of the money.

Thank you 😊

Comments suggest direct verification with the specific embassy due to varying interpretations of requirements.

I doubt it, but again depends on the embassy you use, they make up the requirements as they go along. Contact the embassy and ask.
