Hi guys, I have been seeing many posts about the bank accounts of DTV holders getting closed. And I am wondering if anyone with a bank account that was opened on the non immigrant B visa.

Background:

I have been in BKK for about 2 months on DTV. And I have a bank account I made in early 2023 when I was on a Non-immigrant B visa. I was hired by a company in my home country and entered BKK on that visa if I understand it right. I was hired in my home country so I was already an employee and was basically an expat worker entering Thailand.

I opened an account with help of the company right away, then later in a month or so, I got a work permit. So in my case it was not an ED visa or DTV when I opened my account.

Update info: My bank is KrungSri bank.

If you have any information, I'd appreciate it!

If I am on a retirement visa with a multiple entry permit and I want to travel to my home country is there a time limit to return without loosing my visa?

My marriage visa was stamped for Jan 22nd. We arrived October 24th. I would like to extend it an additional 60 days. What is the timeframe for doing so and do I need a bank account. Do I just show up at immigration with the documents I have? Thank you for your time

Hello all 🙏. I need some visa advice. I have a question on the 60 days visa. If I go into Thailand on 20 Dec 2025 and stay for about 40 days. I leave after that via my return flight to my own country to stay for 14 days than I return back to Thailand to stay for another 40 days in the kingdom. is that considered a border run to the immigration of Thailand? Will immigration officers refuse my entry into the kingdom? TYIA for any advice given. 🙏

Heads up on double nationality

Hello everyone

I have shared my experience applying for DTV from Nepal.

What I didn’t share was that I have double citizenship and this was questioned during the interview also. I didn’t mention it because I didn’t think it was relevant to everyone. However, coming into Bangkok last night, I was pulled aside to be questioned. There were many others there scrutinized. I waited about 40 minutes before they even got to me. When they did what they questioned once again was my other passport.

They asked why I have two. I said I wish I had three 🙂 

My current passport also happens to be new - as old one expired. This too raised some eyebrows.

At the end, I have told them that I had moved to the country I got a citizenship from and was married to a citizen for many years.

I am a middle aged woman, with a long life lived and left 🙂

After that they didn’t ask any questions. I was not questioned like others I witnessed.

Unsure why this is an issue - but here you have it.

Mildly rough landing but got my visa till May 🙂

I’m looking for advice if anyone who has done a DTV recently.

Seems to many people offering advice and services. Has anyone got any personal experience with a company that can make the process easy for me as I only have till the 24 December until I need to get my 30 day extension.

And experiences you can share would be very much appreciated 🙏

KASIKORN BANK POSITIVE EXPERIENCE

I’ve had a Kasikorn bank account for 14 years now.

Unfortunately I had lost my latest bank book and also just changed phone and had to change the phone number on my account to get the app working again.

I try to do this in Roi Et but they said had to be where the bank was originally opened so that was phuke.

Went to phuket into the bank and explained what I needed.

Had to show a photo of my old passport that the bank was opened with and they took my new passport and updated it into the system. They printed me a new book added my new phone number and setup face resignation for me all without asking which visa I was on.

I’m on a DTV so was a we bit worried they might bring it up but they didn’t.

Just been approved in Jakarta as freelancer

be aware! If you're already on a multiple entry visa or similar issued by your home embassy this will need to be cancelled before they can continue the DTV.

It will be your responsibly to contact your home embassy and get the visa cancelled. You then upload proof it has been voided to your application

Plan for at least 1 week to get this done.

Hello,

I applied for DTV from Jakarta (we both are Pakistani national but hold 2 years indonesian residence permit), I want to know once the main applicant DTV is approved, how long will take it for dependent?

Also for dependent, would I have to upload my bank statement or some kind of a letter stating that she's a housewife and I'll be meeting her expenses?

Thanks.

Who know agency can open bank account with condo owner? Thanks
