What documents are required to open a savings account in Thailand with a DTV visa?

@Paul ******

we are wanting to see what happens with it in the long term over the next year.

We have a business visa and live in Bangkok and have a smaller visa office that we go to that doesn’t require us to go to the large one. It’s a wonderful visa, but not cheap. Our kids are in an international school here as we do live here full time and we aren’t willing to jeopardize that.

We are strongly leaning to keeping it the more I read about issues people here are having.

All the issues people having saying they have tried to go to the same bank branch as someone else with all the paperwork and been denied, all I say after living here a few years is, “Welcome to Thailand!” 😂

The process of getting a driver’s license should have standard papers you need, but nope, whenever we renew it’s different 😆

so you actually work for a company or have a business while living there? If you switch to DTV, how will you continue what you’re doing there now, as you can’t have a local income?

@Hein ******

we have a business visa. On paper you work for a Thai company. Essentially they act as a payroll company. My husband owns a business in the US.

We pay ฿85,000/month to them. The amount is based on what country you are from. They deposit ฿70,000 in to our Thai bank account. The ฿15,000/month covers all our visa stuff and their fees and That taxes.

We don’t add any chance extra money to our Thai bank account due to taxes. We use our credit cards or make Wise transfers for bigger amounts.
