am i able to just transfer 15k USD from stocks to savings and let it sit for 3 months and that will do for my DTV proof of funds?

Heyyyy :)

My 60-day visa exemption period will soon expire and I want to go to the Immigration Office for a 30-day extension. I have a question about the TM30 document that need to submit for the extension application. I signed a 6-month condo contract (because I planned to do one visa-run) and haven't actually lived in others places in Thailand for those 60 days than my condo. Now I'm wondering if the immigration officer will be suspicious if I give them a TM30 with a "from-to" date and he sees 6 months (I don't know if a landlord can just give me a document where he put only one month, maybe its an option) and they won't grant me an extension due to the recently tightened rules. I'm wondering if a safer solution would be to book a hotel for a few days and request a TM30 from that hotel. But then I'm wondering if the immigration officer has access to my residence registration history in the system and can see that I have no history for those 60 days except for this one hotel. Does anyone know how this registration system works in practice?

When going for a one year extension of the O retirement visa do you need to have color copies of your passport pages or black-and-white is OK? 

An I ask the group, is the 5 year visa x5 of 180 day periods? And would you prefer it to non-o / non-b? I need to support working remotely as a network security engineer / cybersecurity engineer

Just completed my 90 day report at Patong Immigration branch. Just took my passport and visa. No Tm30. I gave the officer my paperwork took 3 minutes and was done EASY

Out of curiosity, can you get a Thai driver’s license with a tourist visa?

My bangkok bank stopped working again for the second time today.

I opened my account 2 years ago on tourist visa and one year ago I received DTV.

3 months ago my bangkok bank app stopped working and I couldn't use scan,atm or pay for anything. After reading throughly I was prepared for them to close my account and when I came to the branch they said they can unfreeze it if I show them my work contract ( I work online) and one year rental contract which I did and they unfroze my account.

Today they froze it again and after calling the main telephone number they refused to give me any info beside telling me to go to my branch.

I have a feeling that this will be permanent and there is no way out of this.

Strange, I transferred alot money and use the account daily , pay bills and rent and all my expenses throughly. Yet they froze my account second time without giving me any pre notice.

The first time they froze it I was about to pay for a taxi ride and thought that the driver had a problem. Luckily I had some cash in my pocket otherwise it would put in a very uncomfortable situation.

The second time I tried to buy something on lazada and received the same error.

I'm tried of this behavior , they clearly treat us as second class citizens yet they complain the quality tourism is in decline.
