Trying to learn the gold market in Thailand. Is the weight of a gold bar, ทองคำแท่ง, “baht” weight or an ounce, in the attached picture?

Also, anyone using a good Thai gold app? I have downloaded two and neither seems too good.

Looking at the OA visa,applying from the UK. I have a question about the 'certificate of criminal record clearance '. I can get a DBS check that costs £21.50, or an ACRO certificate which costs £68. Is the DBS sufficient or do I need to go all in with the ACRO?

Thanks.

I applied for a non-b visa in Ho Chi Minh City on April 9 but have not received any response. Can you tell me if there is any possibility that the consulate will return the results by the weekend, especially in Ho Chi Minh City?

I have a job that is close to the onboarding date and I still have not received the visa results yet

Hello,

I am going the medical route in Hanoi, do you think the following info will be enough?

- I got a medical certificate from an International Hospital in Bangkok, stating I need 10 physical therapy sessions until June 30th and that I will need to follow up within 3 months

- I got the 10 sessions booked already, so I got the slip for each.

I have around 550k baht on Revolut. I did the transfer a couple of days ago.

What do you think? Thanks

Hi there, I’ve a couple of questions that I’d love to be answered. I have looked online but some of the answers don’t go quite in depth. So if any can be answered that would be great.

1. When applying for mauy Thai visa. Can I just get the 15 lessons and that’s it for 5 years or need to keep doing paying every 6 months ?

2 can my wife come on my visa and if so. Does she need to also have 500,000 in the bank also ? Or can we have the money in the joint account and show separately

3 I have all my money spread out. So am I able to just transfer into a bank account and show this. Or do they not like having money transferred before applying.

Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone, I will do a border run next weekend as my first 180 days are coming to an end. When I received my DTV I got told that there’s no need of doing 90 days report.

Now that I’m reading a group I see a lot of threads about 90 days report, that’s why I’d like to ask, is there anyone with the similar problem as me?

Do I need to prepare for some fines at the border due to the lack of 90 days report?

Also I’ve been in Thailand consecutively for ~180 days.

Hello, after researching and visiting 2 different bank's, I'm confused. I want to apply for a non O retirement visa but need a bank account to put my 800k into. However, bank won't let me open one without a non o visa with at least 60 days valid. What am I missing, please?🙏

I am not understanding the dilemma with Thai bank accounts. It appears that you need a Visa before you can get a bank account and you need a bank account before you can get a Visa??

And that the only way to solve this is through a Visa agent??

I am aware that I am a guest in this country and they make the rules but I can’t understand why a bank would not take your money. Is there some history of fraud that made them wary of foreigners opening bank accounts?

Hi,

Is someone able to help me out with a contact of a visa agency in chiang mai, that can help with DTV?

I visited one here couple weeks ago, but the fee mentioned was 135000B which seems very expensive to me..

thanks in advance!
