Hi guys. My Kasikorn App has become disabled. I cannot get thru to a human being despite 8 calls from UK today. I can't find the Kbank Internet website to do Internet banking. Any help would be great. Thank you

I was in Thailand the month of April on a 90-day non-o, opened a bank account and returned to the U.S. House closed quicker than I expected and now I will return Thursday the 26th of June. The 90-day non-o still is not expired date wise, but once I left it was invalidated at that point, correct? Best just to come back on 60-day visa exempt and get my money seasoned and go straight into the 12-month extension?

I have lived in Thailand for 8 years with a work permit and non-b. My bank accounts are all Thai, my drivers license, residency, utility bills, income... everything is all Thai. Will that be a problem as I switch to the DTV? Should I include my non-b and WP in my paperwork?

Hello. I am interested in the Thailand retirement visa, I know the details, it just seems a bit complicated and now it is also getting quite difficult to open bank accounts. I am considering getting a Cambodia retirement visa for a year, and after I open it, I can get a bank account quite easily. I may do this and then try to get the Thailand retirement visa when things get a bit easier. I am wondering if I might have difficulty getting a Thai retirement visa if I also have a similar one in my passport from Cambodia. Might this raise eyebrows from Thai immigration staff? Anybody have any experience with this? Thanks.

Earlier in the year foreign clients of Kasikorn Bank received communication about Commonn Reporting Standard (CRS) and FATCA (for US citizens). There was a need to complete and submit forms.

Now Bangkok Bank has started the communication and it is predicted all foreign account holders of accounts in all banks will have to complete the forms.

The main question for DTV holders on the form is "Country of Residence" and "TIN" or if no TIN specific reason. This is for Tax Reporting to country of residence which Thailand signed up to.

Please do not shoot the messenger :-) :-)

Hello, I'm actually gathering all the paperwork I need to submit a DTV visa. Is anyone here a freelancer and has their DTV approved? I only find people sharing experiences as remote workers for companies. I have doubts about taxes, bank accounts...ect Thank you in advance!

Hi everyone,

I'm currently in the process of selling up (UK) and moving to Thailand on either an ed visa for a year or a retirement Non O.

Would i be able to study Thai on a retirement visa?

Also on Bank/savings accounts. Most of the banks offer ex pat accounts, do i go for one of those? (which one?) or move all my funds to a online or thai account? I'm looking to stick a large lump into a compound interest account to keep me going till my pension kicks in.

Any advice welcome, especially similar personal experiences.

Many thanks in advance.

Kop khun mak krap.
