ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello Folks,

Anyone know if you can use a Money Box (UK) Lifetime Savings (LISA) to show to 500K requirement? I am struggling to find an affirmative answer! I have more than the required amount.

Appreciate any inputs.

Cheers 👋

TLDR : Answer Summary

The consensus is that you cannot use a Money Box (UK) Lifetime Savings (LISA) account to fulfill the 500,000 THB financial requirement for a Thai visa. It is specified that only funds in a standard checking or savings account qualify. Confirmation from the London embassy indicates that the funds must be accessible in your bank account, and it's advisable to directly contact the Thai Embassy or Consulate for particular inquiries.

No! The London embassy is clear that it has to be in your bank account. If you call them, they will also confirm this

Doubtful,.. BUT you can ask the Thai Embassy or Consulate where you will be applying. IF its the UK, they do reply to emails.
