What Bank to Approach in Chiang Mai to Open Acct?

My DTV application was rejected. Now going for a retirement visa. The agent i spoke with advised me to open a bank account.

Bangkok Bank has fallen out of favor.

Any recommendations for a bank (branch?) someone here might recommend?

I’m in Chiang Mai.

Thanking you in advance….

Hello everyone,

I’m going to Vietnam to apply for the DTV visa. Would you recommend going to Hanoi to do it at the embassy, or applying online from any city in Vietnam? Or another option?

Which option is easier?

Is Vietnam the best country to do it?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot!

I am currently applying for a DTV visa in Taiwan. However, my application was cancelled for the following reason:

"Your visa application has been cancelled. Wrong Personal Info: Country/Territory of Passport / TD does not match with passport."

I suspect this is because I entered “Consulate-General of Japan in Detroit” as the place of issue. My passport is Japanese, but it was issued in Detroit. I believe this might have caused the error. I am thinking of reapplying, but do you think it would be approved if I set the place of issue to “Japan” instead? Has anyone experienced a similar situation?

Hi all,

am looking at a DTV. Would love to hear from people that have actually applied for this recently. Would appreciate some advice, especially when and where to apply. Am in Hua Hin at the moment and leaving Thailand in 2 weeks.

I have accommodation booked for the month of September in Hua Hin.

Will be in Cape Town for August where I would have the whole month to tackle the DTV.

Please no hearsay 🙏

I see a lot of disinformation spread by anonymous accounts. I don’t think there’s any reason to be anonymous who agrees?
