I am the owner of an American LLC and my bank accounts are listed under the LLC. I can prove through my state's LLC records that I am the sole director of the LLC, would i have any issues that the money is not in a personal bank account?

Hello, my Name is Dieter and I‘m from Austria. I intend to work in Thailand for my Italian company as freelancer with a DTV visa, long term. My First question is: can I open a bank account in the future? And what requirements do I need to meet? Second: can I make a change-of-visa to a Non-Immigrant Type O visa some day?Especially since a bank account seems to be a requirement for the Type O visa.

Any insights or experiences?

Is it correct that if you have 2 million baths or more on your account in Thai bank then you have to pay taxes ?

How much is it about?

Two questions. Does any of the Thai banks offer high yield savings accounts? If they do, can I use one of those accounts for my retirement visa?

which bank do you recommend to open an account so i can arrange my retirement visa? Apparently the banks don't want to open an account for foreigners at the moment?

Quick question -

I was asked the followings as extra documents to provide -

* "Document indicating current location: Documents without an English version is recommended to be translated at an official translation office in Vietnam. A financial statement is required, including bank transactions from the last 6 months and an account balance of at least 500,000 BHT."

I did share way more than that as a proof of funds in my Interactive Brokers accounts (financial institution). and I attached a proof of the ownership of such account under my name. I even highlighted the numbers and name... And yes, everything is in English.

Could someone explain me what am I missing? I might have skipped the bank statement for the previous 6 months, but even if I share it, I don't hold such sums on my checking account, it's not gaining any interest there...

Did anyone experience such thing? Would appreciate some wisdom...

Is anyone here have problems with wise transfers? In the past they've always arrived promptly, in 5-10 mins now one and a half days already? 😄

Hi all, I'm currently in Bangkok on my first week on a Non O Visa from the UK. I need to transfer the 800,000 Baht, so that I can apply for the 1 year extension. I have setup a bank account at Krungsri Bank in Bangkok Phrom Phong. Can I send the 800K Baht using Wise ? I know that maximum that can be transferred is 500K each time, so I would need to do 2 x transfers.

Will the Immigration office be ok with a transfer from Wise for the 1 year extension ? I could use Barclays Swift payment, but would be much more expensive.

thanks!
