Hi everyone,

I'm a permanent read-only member of Thaivisa, but now I had an urgent thing so I have to ask :-)

I'm using ED visa from a language school. Already passed one year and now im preparing to renew.

As now the situation becomes more difficult so I have some more documents to support.

• I want to use my stock account to prove that I have enough financial source and don't have to work.

So is it possible to use money in stock account as a financial prove? I mean is it legal to invest in stock without a working visa?

• I've also travel frequently monthly to other countries in Southeast Asia: SG, MY, ID... usually one week each trip. Is it a plus?
• And any other things should I prepare to improve the probability of getting a new visa?For ex: condo ownership or bank account in my home country would be helpful?

Thanks!

I have seen no reports of anybody being ask for financial proof to get a ED visa from any nearby location or an extension of stay for attending school.

The only change is that you have get a new ED visa entry after a total stay of one year on a visa entry and 90 day extensions.

Frequent trips out during your course of study would be a negative in my opinion. Your extensions are based upon you attending classes.

Thanks Ubonjoe,

In my language school there were few cases needed financial proof. As the Thai immigration officers might think people use ED visa to work illegally in Thailand. If someone has a considerable amount of money then it could be better.

Possibly the best for the OP would be to obtain a multi-entry ED visa from his home country, if possible.

He will not be able to use a stock account to prove funds and immigration. That is done only with cash, 20,000 Baht or currency equivalent.
