What should I do if I need to prove liquid assets for a Thai visa but my savings are in stocks?

@Cissi ********

that is applying three times

@Dennis ********

no, he was asked to submit this to his initial application. My suggestion was to do that. IF they would reject it, due to not having the money in his account long enough, I suggested to make a 2nd application elsewhere. What other choice does he have according to you? 🤔

@Cissi ********

I don’t want to guess. Because it does say 6 months of proof in bank but people have done with one. It’s a gamble trying with one but might work

@Dennis ********

I'm not sure you understand my comment. He had already applied and it is not a gamble to submit the requested additional information... It isn't like he have any choice! If he doesn't have any 6 month bank statement showing 500k for every month, he can still send 6 month statements showing a current balance of 500k. Either it will be approved or rejected... IF rejected and he really wants the DTV, he has to re-apply and if so, I suggested that he apply in an embassy that DO approve as long as the current balance is above 500k. He can use the search function in this group for that information.

@Romain ***

u r so bad mannered!

@Achanster *****

is it bad mannered to give facts from feedbacks seen at various embassies ??

@Romain ***

just apply at HMCM in Vietnam, they only require the 500,000baht as end balance

@Romain ***

do you have a DTV? Because that is NOT what the request is saying there is no need to wait 6 months. He needs to provide 6 months of statements but only the current balance needs to be the 500k thb. He can transfer in the account and immediately submit.

Such a nasty reply and so wrong

@Victoria *****

that depends on interpretation, some embassies want to see the money for a longer time.

Why would they ask for 6 months and only look at the last month?

When the previous 5 would have no influence, why would they ask?

@Bryan *******

Vietnam is ok with the final balance of 500k and several months statements so you will be ok

@Rob ********

but it is all about chances, when you prove 500K with Argentinian pesos, the chance they are less than 500K in a year is much bagger than when you prove with US dollars.

But for some reason thai baht gets more expensive against almost all valuta, so maybe in some time nobody wants DTV anymore because Thailand is simply to expensive, with over 6 percent a year that does not need to take long.
