Hello!

I am on DTV & I will be in Bangkok on 31st December. As I am suffering from mold allergy / VOC allergies can anyone guide me to suggest some city / town near Bangkok (where I can be in nature, with some hiking trails & greenery around)? I can not stay near seashore due to the humidity & prevalent Mold issues. I tried staying in Pattaya for a few months but my health deteriorates due to the mold issues.

I already have a bank account in Pattaya (Bangkok Bank). Can I transfer my account to a new city / town where I will be staying (based on TM30 or something)? Or can I open a new bank account based on the existing one? In a month how many ATM withdrawals are free of charge (for foreigners) in ATMs in different provinces or cities any idea?

Thanks!

Is it okay to do your own photo and submit to the embassy? Will they say something?

Hi,

For the bank statement requirement, may I just deposit the required amount and produce an official statement with this amount recently deposited? Or the required amount has to show in the balance for 3 months?

Would it be better to just produce a letter stating that i have at least x amount in my account?

If you have the DTV visa for Muay Thai, which is considered “soft power”. After 1 year, so I have to apply for another soft power in order to keep my visa? Thanks in advance

What nearby countries are recommend to apply for the visa? Vietnam ok? I've heard Laos is no bueno.

Hi, I'm from the UK

I entered Thailand on visa exemption in June, stayed 30 days and then flew to Cambodia.

I flew back after 5 days on visa exemption it had changed to 60 days so I stayed and then flew to the Philippines.

After 5 days I flew back to Thailand and stayed 60 and the extended 30.

I flew out before Christmas to korea and will return on the 2nd of January.

Do you think I will have issues entering next week?

Hi everyone! I graduated and left Thailand in the second week of December, but I wasn’t aware that I needed to cancel my Non-ED visa. Now, I’m planning to apply for a tourist e-visa to enter Thailand around March 28th, but my Non-ED visa is still valid until March 31st. Will I face any issues with this, or do I need to take any steps to resolve it before applying for the tourist e-visa? Any advice would be really appreciated!

Hi. I have a single thai savings account keeping the 800k as well as monthly xfers of 65k. I regularly draw from the 65k for living expenses with a debit card.

I would like to seperate these to 2 different accounts so the 800k is 100% safe.

If I go to the bank and ask for a second account, is it important to keep the 800k in the same account? Or will immigration accept seeing it bump over to the other account?

I ask because of the debit card - if I should request one for the new account or if they tell me to use the one card for the current account. Hope that makes sense. I will ask the same question at the bank but welcome any pointers here for immigration purposes. Thanks

When pulling trigger on 800,000 tbt equivalent from your US Bank to Thai Bank account — does the US BANK do the conversion to Thai Baht or is that done once it lands in Thai Bank? Or do both banks equally share in the cost of conversion ?

My wife and I are thinking of getting O visa based on retirment. I know we have to bring in 800000bt each. Does anyone know if we will be taxed on this
