Feedback Regarding Bank Policy for Foreigners

I am an expatriate working here in Thailand and receive my salary in another bank.

I opened an account with Krungsri Bank for personal use and have conducted a few transactions, sending and receiving money with my Thai friends.

Recently, I was informed by the bank that, as a foreigner, I am not allowed to receive money from sources other than my salary. This restriction has been quite surprising and inconvenient for me.

In comparison, I have previously worked in Singapore, where the banking system is much more accommodating and foreigner-friendly.

Unfortunately, this recent experience has made me feel that Thailand is becoming increasingly challenging for foreigners in terms of financial transactions.

I hope the bank will reconsider or clarify this policy to ensure a smoother experience for expatriates who contribute to the economy here.

Question, if i get the DTV visa i can leave and come back from Thailand whenever i want or just once every 6 months?

What if I over stay my visa for 2 days?

Hello,

I'm here on a student visa for a total of 9 months. I'm planning to go for a holiday (2 weeks)outside of Thailand in April and at the end of May, I'm planning to go back to my home country for a family visit, also 2 weeks.

I know that I have to buy a re-entry permit for these 2 trips but I've read that immigration might refuse entry back into Thailand because it is a student visa.

Does anyone have experience with this?

I'm Dutch and I go to Thai language school. And i have never done a visa run or anything similar, maybe this is useful information.

Thank you for letting me join the group. I'm going to be visiting Thailand the end of January. Then Vietnam at the end of April after I hopefully extend my Thai tourist Visa. If I stay in Vietnam for a couple months, do you think I will have a problem getting back into Thailand on another tourist visa? I will be flying in and out. Or maybe I should go to another country first? And stay out of Thailand for a like 4 months? Any help would be great. Thank you all

Just at Phuket airport flying out to HCM and got questioned a bit, apparently (Phuket) immigration could have processed the DTV if already in Thailand on a valid ED visa? Explained to her we need to be out the country etc etc, she went off to double check but insisted they can/could have processed.

Given she spoke fluent English, seems unlikely to have been a miscommunication/misunderstanding. Anyone heard of this before?

I missed the 90 day reporting because I looked at the wrong stamp on my passport. 90 days was supposed to be 12 Dec . I fly out 27 December. Should I still go to immigration in bkk or just fly out?

Hello, I want to apply for a DTV visa based on a Thai cooking class.

Does a visa for this reason allow remote work as well? Also, can my husband get a dependent visa for this reason?

I found the process an absolute doddle and had my DTV processed quickly. I'm not seeing much in the way of what people are doing regarding Thai tax laws, however. Are people just getting their 180 day stamp each time they enter and not worrying about it? Or are most people residing elsewhere for part of the year too?

Just intrigued to know how people are navigating this.

Good luck to all applying 🙌🏽

I am facing following situation: I have been on a retirement visa for a few years but want to change it as I will only be in Thailand for a few months per year. I have tried to get the DTV visa which has not yet been approved.

Now I am planning to leave on Jan 8, 2025 and come back 2 days later on a tourist visa which will hopefully grant me a 60 days stay. I am planning then to extent for another 30 days.

I am leaving for Germany around the 28th March but had planned to go to Japan within this 30 days extension time (around 15-25 March).

Or should I not get an extension at all, do a 5 day overstay, pay and come back 10 days on another normal tourist visa before I go to Germany until October.

Is this at all possible?
