creative1000 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I'm interested in applying for the BOI Smart-S Visa (2 year) One of the requirements is "3. Having a deposit of no less than 600,000 Baht or equivalent in a bank account in Thailand or in the country of his/her nationality or residence, which has been held for at least 3 months."https://smart-visa.boi.go.th/smart/pages/smart_s.htmlQUESTION: In the USA, I have way more than that sitting in my Fidelity Stock Portfolio in an S&P500 fund untouched for the past 4 years. Can this count for the BOI requirements? Or do I need to quickly liquidate the 600,000 baht into cash and let it sit for 3-months in order to qualify? thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubonjoe Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I assume you applying under this category "SMART S ( Startup )". I suggest you contact them about the what the equivalent can be. I think it has to be liquid assets you can use easily if needed and with proof it meets that requirements it will be accepted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
