ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquired about various matters after obtaining a DTV visa for Thailand including the necessity of purchasing a golden entrance, the new arrival card TDAC requirements, opening a Thai bank account, reporting requirements (TM30 and others), and recommendations for insurance. Community members responded with insights confirming that the golden entrance isn't necessary with the proper visa documentation, TDAC must be filled out, and opening a bank account under a DTV can be challenging, though some have managed it through agents. Furthermore, additional reporting obligations every 90 days were emphasized.
