I was looking at the Sydney Thai Consulate website and it states that there is a 5 year visa (assume it's OA since it follows directly under that section) that is available to citizens of a select number countries. Additional requirements are "deposit account of at least THB 3M, or statement of income with an annual amount of more than THB 1.2M, or a deposit account plus monthly income with a total amount of THB 3M a year. And evidence of health insurance from a Thai insurance company.

The link if any one is interested,click on Non-immigrant visa - [members only]

My question - are holdings of stocks and bonds sufficient evidence of a deposit account or does it have to be cash?
