Is it hard to open a 800,000 saving acct at SCB in Hua Hin branch for visa?

Hi, I'm new to the group and need some advice about getting visas for my family.

We live in the UK and are moving to Chon Buri as my husband has been offered a job there.

He needs a Non Immigrant B single entry work visa. I need a Non Immigrant O visa, and our daughter needs a Non Immigrant ED visa.

Has anyone on here recently been through the same process and could share advice and information? I've been looking online but it's so confusing!

Many thanks.

Banks? I live in Karon Beach. I just received my. Non-O immigrant visa. Next is to open a bank account. I assume it probably would be a branch in Patong.

Do people have a Bank to recommend?

Bangkok ? Kasikorn?

I guess I’m looking for decent customer . Also if I put ฿800,000 in there for a year, I would like to get some kind of return

Suggestions 

Is anyone able to recommend any reliable and proven agencies to help with either DTV or Education visa please?

Have I understood correctly? If I arrive on a Non Imm O single entry 90 day visa, can I fly out and back again within the validity period of the visa (with a reentry permit) and be stamped in for another 90 days?

Do you have any recommendations Muay Thai for a women, I'll use it apply for DTV visa.

Hey social media influencers on DTV:

Director-General Pinsai Suraswadi of the Thai Revenue Department has made it clear:

🔹 Social media influencers and online business owners must file income tax documents by the end of this month.

🔹 Failure to report income can result in severe penalties—including back taxes, interest, and fines that can increase your liability by up to 5x!

🔹 The Thai government is tracking digital footprints, making it easier than ever to detect unreported earnings.

🔹 The Revenue Department has the power to audit records going back 5 years—and the penalties include both civil and criminal consequences.

What is the process to convert DTV to open my own business/visa work permit etc?

Can you stay within Thailand for the entire process or does this visa need to be cancelled by exiting first and then re-entering on a tourist visa and converting to business from there?

Any info on cancelling this visa would be appreciated as with my timeline it may make more sense to just issue a tourist visa and not go DTV route after all. I was thinking to take DTV to buy more time but now I’m not sure… thank you!

Anyone done a passport change (expired/lost) on a DTV eVisa? Was it straight forward?

I have a question hoping members can assist, I’m trying to get a tourist visa to Australia for thai mother in law . I need to get her name changes and mother to daughter evidence translated Thai-English . Will these also need to be stamped by MFA?

Thanks in anticipation
