Hello,

Has anybody been able to open a Wise account or a Binace account while living in Thailand on a DTV?

I don’t have a tax residency at the moment and would like to start investing once I move here for the next 5 years.

Thank you!
Answer summary
The discussion centers around the challenges of opening Wise and Binance accounts while living in Thailand on a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV). It suggests that it's easier to open such accounts before moving to Thailand and highlights the importance of obtaining a Tax Identification Number (TIN) after relocation. Comments also warning that everyone has a tax residency based on various criteria, and mention the requirements for using Binance, including the necessity of a digital ID and a Thai bank account.

Watch out, we all have a tax residency, no one is a “ghost”. In case of control, and even if you don’t stay 183 days in a country during a year, a residency will be assigned to you based on other criteria such as family or economic interests.

I don't think binance Thailand is available to anyone unless they have a digital ID.

And you will need a Thai bank account first.

Get binance global

Open the account while you're in your home country, it'll be much easier for you. After moving to Thailand get a TIN number, most likely they will ask for it

not relevant to be honest… I’ve lived in an Arabic country for the past 15 years… after I left, my home country embassy told me that my tax residency does not automatically change back. I’ve been “homeless” for 2 years
