Greetings to the awesome DTV visa community here that has been so helpful to many people including myself🙏🩵🇹🇭🌴 I have a question and excuse me as I’m sure this has been asked many times before.

I currently have 90 day travel insurance. I will be staying in Thailand as long as possible on this trip. I might be able to get another 90 day insurance policy, but in the long run I need a policy that will cover me monthly as long as I need it.

I appreciate anybody’s help as to recommendations for a quality and inexpensive insurance program for foreigners here in America. Thank you in advance to everybody who offers good solid advice here. Have a great day!

If you’re having trouble opening a bank account, I just noticed that TrueMoney now supports PromptPay QR for tourists!

You can now easily send and receive payments using QR.

No need for third-party apps like Moerata or DeepPocket anymore.

Any USA citizen successfully open a TTB bank account. They are telling me that as an American I need a Thai salary (no other nationalities are subject to this requirement). If yes, please advise on branch, etc

Bank account with TTB

After reports in this group that TTB accepts the DTV for opening bank accounts, I visited the Central Festival Pattaya branch. And they refuse to even consider opening an account without a work permit.

Has anyone opened a bank account with them recently? If so, which branch? I don't mind going to Bangkok or another nearby city to open an account.

TIA

Tm30io website. Registered for this which looks official but went to jomtien yesterday an immigration dont recognise it , had to redo a tm 30 with them before i could get an extension.

I recently saw posts here and TikToks of people opening accounts at TTB. So, I went to the TTB branch at Big C Extra On Nut in Bangkok and opened an account. I also got myself an ATM card, and it cost me literally nothing—not even a deposit. The staff were quite helpful and assisted me throughout the entire process, including the bank application and setting up the ATM card password.

The bank has a list of required documents for DTV holders opening an account. Here is the list:

* Passport

* Visa

* A document issued by the Thai government or the applicant’s country of origin, such as an ID card or driver's license

* Lease agreement

* TM30

* Residential house registration

Additional documents:

* Job statement

* Job contract

* Proof of soft power-related activities (e.g., Muay Thai, Thai culinary training, medical treatment), such as an invitation letter, etc.

Bring all of these documents along with copies.

In my case, I provided all of them since I had them.

Opening bank accounts is not going to be getting easier anytime soon. This is not aimed at DTV holders but it is about all accounts. Thailand seems to be getting serious about scammers and limiting bank accounts is just one tool.

"To further deter the creation of mule accounts, the BOT will make the account opening process more stringent. Banks will be empowered to refuse account openings if the applicant's circumstances are unclear or to impose transaction limits or even deny account access from the outset."

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?
