A question about the Non-Immigrant O-A visa. It seems to be too good to be true. At least according to the Thai Consulate in Munich you need to be over 50, show a PENSION income of at least 65,000 baht monthly (currently €1700) OR 800,000 baht in a bank account HERE in Germany. Plus you need medical insurance and a certificate from the police. They say this allows multiple entries and stays of up to one year PER ENTRY.

This seems to be too good to be true. Meaning you’d just have to get this visa once and you could come and go and each time and stay up to a year. Or stay permanently and do a visa bounce once a year. There seems to be no time limit. No lining up at Immigration to get extensions and multiple re-entry permits. Do I understand this correctly?

I’m considering this visa because banks are reported to be cracking down on accounts held by foreigners who don’t have long-stay visas.

Is it possible to open a joint bank account in Thailand, my gf is Thai. I’m on dtv and not that critical I get a bank account but would be useful to have!

Have tried on my own but no success

DTV approved, anyone have any tips to open a thai bank account, if it's not possible with DTV is it possible with an agent in Bangkok? Unable to find any solid on this so far.

Hi,

Anyone knows which bank accepts to open a bank account with debit card for a DTV ?

Since getting a Thai bank account on a DTV seems to be an issue, what are Americans doing? Favorite fee-free credit or debit card? Other workarounds? Please share what's working for you. Are you handing over 15-30k for rent in cash every month?

Has anyone here used tic tok services for obtaining a thai bank account, if so were they any good. Thanks

Hi, I wonder if a traveller holding TR visa can open a bank account in Thailand? If so, which bank? (I've asked multiple banks but no luck).

Today, I received approval for DTV from the US Thai Consulate. I want to open a Thai bank account preferably with Kasikorn. Has anyone successfully opened a Thai bank account with the DTV?

Best bank in Thailand for dependants? My wife doesn't work and Bangkok bank changed its rules so I need to open up an account for her elsewhere.

For the first Visa OA how put 800000b on an account bank Thai ??

Then, to have an account bank Thai you must to have a visa long stay, no tourism…

I live currently in New Caledonia and plane to move in Hua Hin next year.

Thanks and have a nice day every body.
