Is there any way to open a Thai account? I have a DTV visa

I know that it is difficult to open an account even with an ED visa.

Tell me a good way

Do I need a special type of visa to rent a condo in Bangkok and travel between the US and Bangkok? Plan would be to rent a place there and stay in BKK for 2-3 weeks every other month or so and when not there be back in the US.

Possible? Will a standard tourist visa work? Can I rent a yearly condo with this type of set up?

Thanks!

Anyone from bahamas living in Thailand and was the process easy looking to move in April

I just extended my exemption visa for 30 days, after that what option do i have if i want to stay just 1 more month? ( im married and have 1 daughter, is there any special re extension or 1 month visa?)

Thank you

I'm looking for an opinion on the safest way to go about this. I entered Thailand on a Visa Exempt Entry. That gave me 60 days. I'm coming up on that 60 days soon. Would it make more sense to go to immigration and apply for the 30 day extension that most people do, or does it make more sense to skip that step and immediately start using a border run company until I'm able to get my longer term visa situated? I'm just looking for the option between the 2 that decreases my chance the most of getting rejected.

Hello everyone I’m after some advice please.

From my understanding I can enter Thailand by air 3 times per year.

I have entered 3 times already but want to visit again in July at some point.

What do I need to do?

Thanks in advance

Hi guys,

I’m so pleased I found this forum, it’s been a big help reading a lot of posts. I’ve decided that I wish to retire in Thailand. I’m currently in Thailand on an extended 90 day tourist visa, which expires shortly.

I’m a little confused over the best way to proceed. When I return to UK, should I start the visa process at the Thai embassy to enable me to open a bank account here ? Is it easier to apply in the UK, or to return here and apply ?

Many thanks for the advice.

so just a thought, has anybody thought about living in laos and just coming across the border to visit the family once or twice a year,

Can someone put me onto a visa agent to apply for a 1 year plus visa I’m 56 years old looking to move over with girlfriend.

METV Visa Question:

Hi...I'm Ken - a traditional 6 month tourist visitor to Thailand. Had to pay a 10k bribe to BKK immigration recently to come in from a recent visa run or they would send me back to where I'd come form. They said they Red Flagged my passport for needing a long-term visa the next time I visit.

- The Retirement Visa doesn't work for me because I'm rather mobile and after getting one I'd be forced to return to TH in person to renew at a certain time each year.

Been looking into the METV....

If I understand it right

- It allows for a 6 month stay.

- I'm allowed to stay the first time 60 days...which can be extended an additional 30 days.

- Then I can return after a visa run and start the process over.

Questions:

- Has anyone in this group ever gotten one of these?

- Do I understand it right?
