Couple of questions about 90 day report.

1. I heard you can do the first one in person but all the next ones online. Can someone give the URL for this?

2. Do I need to do the 90 day report at the 180 day mark? So if I do the extension should I also do the 90 day report or since I am doing the extension the 90 day is not required?

If the husband is an American citizen and we are registered as married in Thailand, he wish to change from a tourist visa to a Non-O (Marriage) visa. If he wants to change it in Thailand, he needs to have 400,000 baht in his bank account in Thailand. However, foreigners who enter on a tourist visa cannot open a bank account. How can he prove his financial situation? I'm looking for information from people who have gone through this process."

Feedback Regarding Bank Policy for Foreigners

I am an expatriate working here in Thailand and receive my salary in another bank.

I opened an account with Krungsri Bank for personal use and have conducted a few transactions, sending and receiving money with my Thai friends.

Recently, I was informed by the bank that, as a foreigner, I am not allowed to receive money from sources other than my salary. This restriction has been quite surprising and inconvenient for me.

In comparison, I have previously worked in Singapore, where the banking system is much more accommodating and foreigner-friendly.

Unfortunately, this recent experience has made me feel that Thailand is becoming increasingly challenging for foreigners in terms of financial transactions.

I hope the bank will reconsider or clarify this policy to ensure a smoother experience for expatriates who contribute to the economy here.

Hi everyone,

I’m currently residing in Thailand with a DTV visa, and I have all the required documents in place, including proof of residence and a Thai bank account. I’m interested purchasing a car through leasing and would love to hear from anyone who has experience with the process.

Could anyone provide information on:

Which companies offer car leasing options for foreigners with a DTV visa?

What documents or requirements should I be prepared for?

Are there any tips or things to watch out for when leasing a car in Thailand?

What are the typical rates for leasing? Do the rates for foreigners with DTV visas differ, or are they the same as for Thai residents? Does it vary from bank to bank?

Thanks in advance for your help!

I see lots of questions about Thai banks. I have been married to my Thai wife for 50+ years. She has a Thai passport and ID card and an American passport, drivers license etc. we live in the USA 🇺🇸.

we are fixing to go to Thailand 🇹🇭 again in January. I want her to open a bank account and add me on the account like here in the USA 🇺🇸.

Is that doable? Also which banks in Bangkok are more user friendly and have less fees?

TIA

I have TM30 scenario and don’t know where else to ask.

I’ve been asked to move into a house that is inside a Thai army base.

My concerns are:

Is that even plausible? I can see a farang going into immigration with a military address on a TM47 and it being a problem.

The TM30 itself can be created by the resident of that home? No lease, family if you will. I’ve had to create my TM30s in my current location, so I suspect that might not be a problem other than being located on military grounds.

Thanks!

Does anyone have experience registering a car in your name while on the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV)?

I’d love to hear about the process, any challenges, or specific requirements for foreigners with this visa. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Has someone who is a foreigner done a police record (background check) with the Thailand police clearance service for you duration of stay in Thailand (for visa purpose for visiting a third country for example)? Could you please give an advice if it's possible at all and the required documentations? Is it possible to do it by yourself or is using an agent recommended?
