Is there anyone who can open a bank account for me with an ED visa?

I am looking for someone with connections in the bank to open a bank account with, or someone who is a bank employee. I will pay the fee.

Potentially a stupid question.

Do I have to transfer the student visa into the new passport if cancelling soon?

My under 18 student will cancel the student visa, leave the country for 8 days, return on a tourist visa, stay 50 days then leave Thailand permanently. Is the hassle of transferring the visa to the new passport necessary of were going to cancel it 2 weeks later?

Hi everyone I am just looking for advice and doing some research on moving to thailand. As a 29 year old, how could i move to thailand? I understand i would maybe have to arrive on a tourist visa and then extend after establishing a bank account and having proof of income, but i would like to hear more opinions from others. I also was looking to apply for a 90 day visa and attend a language school but i dont know much about thai language schools. Any advice for a permanently disabled veteran? I WILL be reading every comment and might not reply to most but i appreciate any opinion or wisdom. Should i rent a place in thailand to move to on my 60-90 day visit before arriving and extend by using that rental agreement or is it more complicated than that? In reality I would like to become a permanent resident and spent the rest of my days there.

Are there any language schools anywhere processing education visas for Cambodian nationals? I have gotten rejections everywhere for my Cambodian GF. I understand that there is a low intensity border conflict going on but Cambodians are not banned from entering Thailand. I need to find a long term option for my GF to stay in Thailand.

I keep reading mixed reports about Cambodians entering Thailand. Everything ranging from "Me and my GF flew to Bangkok last week" to what she experienced last week which was being turned around at the airport. They did not give any deportation stamps or any type markings on her passport. They stated had we traveled together and if she had a passport stamp or two, it would of helped a lot more.

That being said, I think I set her up for failure by having her fly alone (Young unaccompanied woman w/ no passport stamps from country w/ high risk of overstay/trafficking raises flags) and having an onward flight +45 days after arrival. Plus she forgot to print out the sponsorship letter. They were pretty courteous about turning her around, they said she needed to enter on a 'student visa' which is total bullshit as there is in fact, no options for student visas for Cambodians in Phuket or at least no new options.

So the new plan is to stay in Manila for about 10 days after Cambodia and re-enter via DMK. She'll have a passport stamp which shows compliance with immigration rules and so on and paints us as a 'couple traveling'. At a bare min, I need us both to get into Thailand and prepare to move as there may no easy path for her to get a 6-12 month visa in Thailand.

Hello, I'd like to ask about the fees and procedures for student visas, caregiver visas, and DTV (Dual Television Service). Is the DTV card listed on the bank statement?

Thank you for this group. I am in the process of getting my student visa, I am due to Vietnam first week of February. My 90 day stay ends on the 23rd of January, I’ll be heading to Laos with a Thai friend of mine so I can come back and get another 60 days until I get to Vietnam for my student visa. How many days do I need to stay in Laos before I can return to Thailand?

Hi everyone, I need some advice on a DTV (Muay Thai) application issue.

I applied through the Thai Embassy in Hong Kong after buying a 6‑month Muay Thai training package, but they replied asking for a portfolio showing at least 6 months of past Muay Thai experience. The issue is that I’m a beginner and applying specifically to learn Muay Thai in Thailand. This gym is legit cuz I am really planning to learn it and chose it based on loads of Google Map reviews.

Has anyone faced this before? How did you handle it as a beginner?

Any advice would be really appreciated. Thanks!
