Hi members.....

I am travelling to Thailand on my Australian passport 60days.

Planning on getting married at registry or immigration

Few days after arrival.

I hear that after 2 months I can apply for retirement over 65 visa. Which is best E visa

To get with multiple entries.

But living full time Thailand.

How much money after marriage to Thai lady do I require for bank . And can I open Banking account.

Thanks 😊

Thinking about buying a condo in Bangkok, but as I understand it, it's best to have a thai bank account for the money to pass through. However, I was planning to get a DTV (since I'm too young for a retirement visa) and with the latest changes I understand this prohibits you from getting a bank account (or is not easy anyway). How would I make this work? Is my only option a different visa (which requires more investment)? Or is there some way that if you're planning to buy a condo, you can get a bank account for that purpose?

If I get a teaching job there and a work visa will that qualify me for a Thai bank account?

RETIREMENT VISA! Can the monthly income requirement be coming into a foreign bank account? Or does it need to be a Thai bank account? Also, can I get the visa when already in Thailand? Thank you 😊

Can I use 800,000 Baht in cash to open a bank account.

I am thinking that bringing £ over from UK will get me the best exchange rate to Baht

TIA

With this new bank approach to close accounts unless you have long term visa, own property or are married, does the DTV visa suffice to keep the bank account or is this still deemed a touristic visa

If I enter visa-exempt can I change to a non immigrant O visa?

Many of us are struggling of opening or maintaining a thai bank account. I found one option suitable for us in the mean time if we dont want to pay 15000 to agent to open bank account : [members only]

Foreigners can open true money wallet with the limit amounf of 50000 Baht per month and 30000 baht of transaction per day

For me this option can help with our daily transactions .

Question on applying for Retirement visa in Thailand. Q: on the requirement for $800 k THB in a Thai bank for 2 months prior to visa application, how does one open a Thai bank account without a visa? I'd be there on visa exemption status. TIA

Hey folks, for the workation DTV option, has anyone used funds in a Thai bank before? I currently have the required 500k in a Thai bank, but I couldn't find any information if that's allowed or not
