I will be applying for a dtv for my next trip to Thailand - will this visa enable me to open a bank account in Thailand?

Hi,

I have done some searching of old posts on here and think I have my answer ..... but I sort of need to ask still and be reasured .... sorry.

I have a 12 month Non O visa .... secured with a 800,000 baht deposit and am transiting to a 65,000 monthly deposit.

But .... I have neglected to update my bank book and lost 4 months of banking life.

Will this be a problem at my renewal in February or are the bank statements the key record and the deposit book more about the last entry pre applying for a renwal ... ie money is still in the accout.

Thanks so much.

Heads up to those who are with Bangkok Bank. Starting today they require you to block 400k/800k (depending on your visa type) 4 months prior to renewal even if immigration is asking 3 months. If not they will disclose documents for visa renewal only by making you sign a paper where you pledge to keep the amount for 4 more months.

Attached the announcement

I know showing proof of funds isn’t common upon re-entry into Thailand, but has anyone been asked to show proof of full 500k baht? Or is it only 20K baht you have to prove? Thanks!

Could an American expat, married to a Thai woman, apply for a family based Non-O visa, come in, and just before the 90 days expires, leave, then apply again for the same visa, and do this repeatedly? Will the embassy abroad or the IO tell him to get a yearly extension or else? Tnx.

PS. Have already extended five times in as many years, but the current 400k THB may have to be used for other necessities.

How many nights do you have to stay in Laos to be able to get entry stamp back into Thailand

can I leave the border and come back straight away on a DTV visa? Can I cross the border with Cambodia?

How many , 60 day visa exception with a 30 day extension, can you do I a 12 month period

Hi

My wife and I are coming over to Thailand and then plan to visit Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Vietnam and finally Australia.

We are retired and financially very stable. We intend to enter Thailand approximately 3-4 times over 6-8 months.

Tourist visa with extension and boarder bounce or Muti entry visa????

Thank you
