I am about to apply for my Thai driving license, my question is do I need a certificate of residence from immigration as it says in the transport office or will my blue book and condo deeds be ok. There was no one available to ask. Thank in advance

For digital nomads who are transferring money now into Thai Bank Accounts

Lets say you are transferring 60k on low end and 100k on high end every month

After 1 year in thailand how much tax are you liable to pay from that to thai government (so 360k-720k baht transferred in)?

This is in the something else category.

I've seen some posts from British pensioners regarding the Certificate of Life sent out by DWP and getting it witnessed.

I recently got mine and took it to the piya baan in our village, she filled it in as witness that I am still alive and kicking, then stamped it for me. Everything she filled in, including her stamp was in Thai, but DWP have just messaged me by SMS that it has been processed and I don't need to take any further action.

I hope this helps others in the same situation.

Pretty hard now but the new rules are asking for even more checks on opening a bank account from next month.

Hi everyone! I’m planning my move from the U.S. to Thailand later this year and would love some advice from those who’ve already made the leap. What are some important things to consider or take care of before the move and shortly after arriving?

Specifically wondering about:

• Should I bring electrical adapters or buy them there?

• Is it better to change my phone to an international plan or get a Thai SIM card?

• Should I get health insurance before leaving the U.S. or wait until I’m in Thailand?

• Any essentials I should pack that are hard to find there?

• Any unexpected surprises or tips you wish you’d known ahead of time?

Thanks so much in advance for sharing your wisdom!”**

May I know if house registration doc for opening bank account must be the one for the place that I actually live in?

because my landlord said he doesn’t have house registration doc for my place, but he gives me the one for his home cuz his name is in the doc. Does it work?

Greetings to the awesome DTV visa community here that has been so helpful to many people including myself🙏🩵🇹🇭🌴 I have a question and excuse me as I’m sure this has been asked many times before.

I currently have 90 day travel insurance. I will be staying in Thailand as long as possible on this trip. I might be able to get another 90 day insurance policy, but in the long run I need a policy that will cover me monthly as long as I need it.

I appreciate anybody’s help as to recommendations for a quality and inexpensive insurance program for foreigners here in America. Thank you in advance to everybody who offers good solid advice here. Have a great day!

I know this may sound like I’ve not done my research, but please don’t come for me too hard 😫

But I’m asking for any advice + information regarding registering/setting up a business in Thailand as a foreigner (British national)

What is the process? Is it possible? Is there set requirements for having a Thai business partner? Or a set amount of Thai people working for the company? Is the process lengthy and filled with fees?

Again, Thankyou for anyone who takes the time to provide me information and point me in the right direction! Please don’t be mean 🙏🏽🙏🏽😅
