I have a Bangkok bank account, today I wanted to try opening a Kasikorn bank account with my LTR-WP visa in Nonthaburi. Omg 😱😱 What an incompetent branch or person. She called their headquarters, she had no idea about LTR, she spoke simultaneously with two individuals on two phones in both hands. She passed the phone to me at times so I could answer their questions, well finally no account with LTR after wasting about 40 min ! They asked work permit or country ID .. US has no country ID, we have passport and driver's licence. I run to the next door which is SCB bank. This time she was much faster to let me know their bank don't open a bank account for LTR visa holders. I said LTR visa holders were selected through a stringent process and it is given to top earners, why would SCB refuse to do business with us. She run inside, then came out with a better idea, she copied all my docs and told me that they will notify me in 1 week about their decision. Really pissed I barged into next door which was Kurungsri Bank. They also called their headquarters then copied my docs and told me to wait a week to hear their response. All in all, today I failed opening a bank account three times with my LTR-WP visa. Thai banks are going through a huge confusion, trying to implement new rules but doing it in a total chaos.

For anyone who applied for the DTV in Hanoi, can you share how long it took? Especially if they asked for more documentation?

Got DTV visa

I have a question regarding the Thailand DTV (Destination Thailand Visa).

When I applied for my DTV visa, I submitted proof of remote work showing that I was employed by a specific company.

My question is: What happens if I change my employer during the validity of my DTV visa?

I’ve seen several posts where people mentioned that Thai immigration sometimes asks for updated proof of remote work during re-entry or when using the visa for the second or third time.

So, if I change my company but continue working remotely (with a new employer), will immigration expect me to still be employed by the same company I listed during the DTV application?

Or is it acceptable as long as I continue remote work and meet the financial requirements?

Would appreciate insights from anyone who has faced this situation

I am on my ED visa 15 months.

End of this month it gonna expire.

My job is busy make papers for new visa I am not sure or they will be on time before my ED running out.

If its not. Do I have other options instead of leave Thailand to get some more time for the visa they are preparing for me?

Maybe tourist visa or something like that?

Applied and accepted for DTV. Since it's a long stay I've booked a one way flight. Is the DTV visa enough to satisfy the airline or do I still need proof of onward travel?

Got my DTV in mid-june but will be able to go to Thailand only at the beginning of October.

Do you think it will be a problem?

Some visas should be activated no later than three months after they are given. Is it also the case for the DTV?

Does anyone has experienced going to Thailand with a DTV delivered more than three months before his arrival date?
