Can I use 800,000 Baht in cash to open a bank account.

I am thinking that bringing £ over from UK will get me the best exchange rate to Baht

TIA

With this new bank approach to close accounts unless you have long term visa, own property or are married, does the DTV visa suffice to keep the bank account or is this still deemed a touristic visa

Let this be a warning to anyone who is curious: Do not apply for your DTV in Spain.

Just don't.

I'm a legal resident here who applied over a month ago and I still have not gotten a response. Now I have to leave Spain for a family emergency, and I'm basically begging the embassy to give me an update on the additional materials they requested. If you have the option, apply somewhere else, anywhere else. The stress alone makes me want to scream.

DTV: Remote Worker

I want to Bank in the land of smile to make life easier but there were more frustration than smiles. Yes, there are other method but you may be prone to Scam using hard cash plus there isn't a paper trial.

I live near On Nut and I read the banks in Big C may be more forgiving so I gave it a try and here is my experience.

I tried TTB, SCB, Bangkok Bank

I called TTB at Digital Park which about 1 month ago told me to try head office and they now said no.

I have the following docs and they didn't even ask or take a look at any of my docs. I tried the supposedly magic words "Remote Worker" they don't care. They ask what Visa and the moment they hear DTV. It's a No Can KAA! or You have work permit? No Can KAA!

TM30

1 Year Condo Lease

Employment Contract

Tabian Baan "House Registration" signed by owner

Passport (American)

Phone Number Thai (Data & Phone)

DTV Remote Worker

I'm either going to try the True Money method with 20k limit

or use cash or wait until the whole banking thing cool down.

lmk if you know other method that would make life easier using QR.

The tm30 I need to show on 90 days report need

To be issued specific few days before the report ? Or it’s ok if I have one issued 14 days before the report?

Question about Thailand Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) Entry Requirements at the Airport

Hi all,

I was approved for Thailand’s 5-year digital nomad visa back in September 2024 but I haven’t entered the country yet. I plan to go soon and I already have the paper visa approval in hand — it has my photo and personal details (E-Visa).

My question is:

Do I need to present supporting documents again (like bank statements, income proof, insurance, etc.) when I arrive at the airport, even though the visa has already been granted?

It seems unnecessary to bring all the original documents again, but I’ve read mixed info online. Just want to know from others who entered with this visa — what was your experience at immigration? Do you need to show for example, proof of accomodations or bank info? Was anything asked of you?

Thanks in advance!

I am looking for clinical or hospital in Chinag Mai that I can apply DTV with. Can someone please help?

Thanks

Hi All, If applying as a digital nomad what documents would be required if I have not incorporated my company yet? Please only respond if you are certain and have been in my shoes. Thanks in advance!

IF A VISA APPLICATION IS REJECTED

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE ONE TO REAPPLY..

Hi all,

I am currently on 4 months long service leave and almost finished my 60 day tourist visa. I was hoping to do a border run to Krong Poi Pet this coming weekend to re-enter and kick off another 60 days.

I have heard there is some unrest with Thai-Cambodia relations. Has anyone been there in the last few days.? TIA😊
