Hello everyone,

I am a bit stuck on a technical beaurocracy and would appreciate your help.

I would like to apply for a soft power DTV, but regarding the financial requirements, the 500k is currently in an investment account and not a bank savings account.

I contacted the embassy in Taipei asking if it will suffice, and while they did not give me a clear "no", they said a savings account is preferable.

Now I'm debating whether to go ahead with it, or transfer the cash to a savings account and delay application by 3 months.

I would love to hear your opinions. Thanks in advance everyone

Hello everyone I have a technical question regarding the $$ requirements. Suppose one has proof ofbthe 500K for the previous 6 months, however it is not kept in a "classic" bank account per se, but rather in an investment account in a well established financial firm.

Can anyone see any issue that might arise during visa approval process?

Alternatively, is there any benefit in transferring the $ to a "classic" bank account? Obviously in the recipient account there will not be statements of 6 months but rather a month or so.

Thanks
