interesting. I’m a little bit surprised they accepted your CD’s after many people commented “the rules are clear, only bank accounts and nothing else” or something to that sort. I have a large amount of bonds, stocks, etc in my brokerage account but will sell off some to turn it into cash before applying for DTV.
The Thai government official who oversees this visa denied this and said you cans simply renew it without having to supply any documentation in a Youtube interview.
So you gotta have the ฿500K sitting in your bank for three months? What if you only have the cash temporarily (one month)? I myself keep everything in stocks and bonds and only pay out what I need.
