Ok. I got it. My non o. Will be in bangkok on the 18th. Not worried about tm30 . Looking for sum advice on a good bank to park my baht in and how I should go about doing it. From US and use BOA. Looking to land smooth.

Multiple accounts with Bangkok Bank

I have BB accounts both in Chiangmai and Pattaya.

On Saturday morning, I received a phone call from a lady at the Pattaya branch, asking me to come in on Monday and show my one year lease.

I don’t have a lease as I’m currently traveling and staying at hotels.

So on Tuesday morning I find both my accounts frozen.

I didn’t think that one branch could freeze an account at another branch.

Anyone has been in this situation?

What happens if I open a new BB account where I am currently staying, could they unfreeze my accounts?

Question: Just applied for our DTV we plan on bringing there for a few years but we put the time as 3 months the date on the application. My question is was this wrong and will we have to reapply again later because of it in that 3 months? Any info helps!

Has anyone ever done 90 day reporting at One Bangkok? I just made an appointment online but seems like most people not doing it there for the first time.

Hi everyone. I have my first international flight to BKK tomorrow. I have my visa printed. TDAC filled. Please share your arrival experience? Do I stand in normal immig line or special line for DTV? Share first hand experience please. Important things to remember?

Hello,

I applied for the DTV Visa, Soft Power Route London embassy (Muay Thai)

Got an email today, asking for additional documents

For the Document indicating current location : Do bank statements work?

I provided a saver bank statement when I initially applied. 2nd time I will apply with Bank Statement of a credit card with recent transfers in UK. Does this qualify for a document for current location? 🤔

Let me know please if you were in a similar situation, thank you!

Quick question, will printed bank statements suffice, Monzo don’t so stamps on statements and I see people mention they got their statements stamped

Hi everyone 👋

I’m planning to apply for the DTV visa next month at the Thai Embassy in HO CHI MINH 🇻🇳. I understand that the embassy usually asks for a 6-month bank statement showing at least 500,000 THB.

I currently have that amount for the past three months, but I didn’t have that balance four to six months ago, the funds were transferred from my parents.

I’m from Singapore and have had a regular income of about USD 5k per month for the past 3 years.

The income goes through Wise Business → Wise Personal → local bank account, where I handle my living expenses and payments.

My only concern is that since the 500,000 THB is a fresh deposit (around 20,000 USD), it might raise questions when they review the six-month statement. I could explain that it’s a gift from my parents, but I’m not sure if that would be accepted.

Has anyone had experience with this situation when applying?

Would really appreciate your thoughts or advice. 🙏

I am a UK citizen currently working internatiinally offshore on Oil Rigs. I work a 28/28 day rptation on a permenant contract.

Can I apply for a DTV visa on this basis and if so has anyone got any advice or tips to help smooth the way for me

Cheers

Hi everybody; I have applied in usa for a 90 day non-o retirement Visa. My first question is regarding timing. If I register my address upon arrival (TM-30) and then open up Thai bank account and deposit ฿800,000 I have to let the funds “season” for 60 days.  then I’m told i can apply for a one year extension. But I read somewhere that you’re supposed to apply 30-

45 days before your 90 day visa expires. Is this true? And if so, what do I do about it? The math doesn’t work.

Second question is regarding transferring funds. If I use Wise, will it show up as a foreign transfer? Is this important? 

Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time and trouble to respond.
