Does someone knows what its bank certificate?

Hello, I am researching and planning my retirement to Thailand and I am undecided on whether to apply ahead of time while still in California (Type "OA" visa) or while already within Thailand (Type "O") via a tourist visa. From my research I am still not clear on a few topics:

1) To prove that I meet the 65k baht monthly soc. sec. payments.

Is this requirement for showing monthly deposits to my US bank

or to a Thai bank account?

2) If I need a Thai bank account to have my soc. sec monthly direct

deposit set up, how is it possible to open a Thai bank account

ahead of time? Is it possible to open a bank account on my next

vacation trip by using an agent?

3) For applying for a type "O", why is it required to have a return

flight itinerary? I imagine that I will need to make sure the return

flight is refundable when I book my flight to Thailand.

Thanks in advance for any help with the above,

Carlos

Anyone managed to buy things on Lazada? Without a Thai bank account it's a real PITA. My foreign Credit Card get rejected. It used to work a couple of weeks ago. Customer support has been unhelpful.

Hi, can someone please advise if a Thai Bank account can be used for a DTV application. Thank you.

Yesterday afternoon, I managed to open an account at SCB in the Airport Plaza in Chiang Mai.

It took three attempts, but in the end, it worked out.

First attempt: I asked what was required to open an account. They told me: passport, visa, certificate of residence, and a work permit.

When I pointed out that I didn’t have a work permit, they informed me that an account could be opened with the DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) for remote work and a translated employment contract for remote workers.

So, I got that done.

Second attempt: Of course, the information I received the first time wasn’t complete. On the second attempt, they told me I also needed a Thai tax ID.

So before my third attempt, I applied for one at the Revenue Department, explaining that I was on a DTV and intended to stay in Thailand for more than 183 days. They issued the tax ID for me.

Third attempt: With my certificate of residence, translated employment contract (which explicitly stated that I work remotely for my employer from Thailand and will stay for more than 183 days), visa, and tax ID, everything went smoothly and quickly.

Oh, and they didn’t try to sell me any unnecessary insurance!

Hi, after spending 2 months in Thailand, December and January,I tried to get a bank account for my up coming attempt on getting a marriage visa, but 2 months later no bank account, every where I went big city's or small towns they all said no you need a visa, I even showed them the official Thai embassy website saying you need a bank account before you can get a visa and there just looked at me and said no visa no bank, anyway I have heard you can use a HSBC bank account to get a visa, is this true or just more running around catching your tail, thanks sorry if it's a bit long winded but really need advice,
