Hi All! I have arrived and all went smoothly with DTV application and immigration. I have moved the required funds into a savings account (which is a different bank to my original application account). Can I use this new account when I go to get my 180 day visa stamp over here ?

OR does it need to be same bank as original bank statements given ?

Thanks for any clarification 😊🙏🏼

Hi all, I got some question about DTV, DTV is considered as a tourist visa, so it is not allow to open a bank account in Thailand, which means I only can carry cash though flight, i dont feel this is a good idea to carry couple hundred thousand cash in the bag, feel unsafe

Second, since i dont have bank account in thailand, can i pay the rent, utility bills by cash? Thanks all.

Supplementary Information:

Q: why need so much cash

A: if i dont got bank account or any e-payment method, the cash is the only way to pay all the goods and bills, consider DTV is a 6 month visa, monthly expense for me approximate 30-35k THB, so if i carry around 200k THB, it let me feel nervous if i lost it, i am the type of people prefer the money keep on bank

I’ve lived in Bangkok for 22 years. On July 13 I returned to Bangkok from a one month trip to the United States. Next Friday, on the 24th, I’m moving to Udon Thani. Must I file a 90 day report here before I go? I should note the 90 day report is never simple for me because my current condo owner won’t file a TM30. He’s trying to avoid taxes of some sort I think. Thank you.

For folks who applied in Vientiane, Laos for your DTV- where did you pay the 10k baht? Googling address and receiving different addresses. Want to ensure I go to the right place, so I get an interview ASAP. Thanks in advance to anyone who responds ☺️

Best of luck to everyone applying for a DTV!

Can someone please recommend a reputable border run agency that does land runs to Laos? I'd like to go and return in the same day for DTV extension. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
