Is having your money for a soft power dtv visa ok in a revolut account with it not be fully classed as a bank yet in the UK

Or does it have to be in a verified UK bank.

T.I.A.

Question, understanding that DTV holders cn not get a Thai bank account. How is rent and utilities paid? Via wire transfer (like western union), credit card or online?

Apologies if this money transfer question is a bit off topic.

I need to send some money back to the UK and I have not done this before, so I am looking for your help please.

I am aware that Revolut and Dee money are the popular choices for this purpose.

I can use Bangkok Bank or Kasikorn to transfer the money to Revolut or Dee if either of these options are cheaper. Which option is the cheapest/recommended to use please?

Does anyone use Revolut to transfer to Thai bank account? And use these transfer as fund confirmation (65k) to yearly retirement visa. I can not find any viable selection when trying to transfer, like "Funds for long time stay" etc

For those with no thai bank. What is a good app to pay from the phone and not carry money with you ??

Understand there is no bank allow to open account under DTV, so what are other ways to transfer your fund from foreign countries? Thanks

Hi everyone, I have a DTV (Destination Thailand Visa) and I plan to stay in Thailand long-term, but will likely move between hotels/short-term accommodations frequently (no fixed address) to see different places.

My funds are mainly in Revolut and a European bank, and I’m trying to:

* minimize Thai ATM fees (I think is 220 THB per withdrawal)

* avoid a cash-heavy lifestyle, since cash spending gets out of control easily

I’d really appreciate real-world input from people who stay for months:

1. Is it actually feasible in practice to open a Thai bank account on a DTV visa, or is it very branch-dependent / hit-or-miss?

2. If you have a Thai bank account, how do you fund it in real life in order to avoid high fees?

– Revolut → Thai bank directly?

– Wise?

– another method?

3. What is the real monthly cost (fees + FX), not the theoretical one?

4. For those who change accommodations often, what address did you give when opening the account?

5. In your experience, is opening a local Thai bank account really worth it, or does it just replace ATM fees with transfer fees?

Thanks in advance 🙏

Planning to apply for soft power DTV visa in Hanoi.

My current funds are on Wise. Should I transfer everything to Revolut then apply? It would be the right amount.

Please advise. I can also show both accounts I guess.

Revolut has my daily spending.

Wise has my clients transfers.

What are the alternatives to solve this that you can’t open a traditional bank account in Thailand?

Do they have neobanks that are easier to open?

I’m a freelancer and I just need to get paid somewhere, right now I have a balance account on the clients platform but that service only is deposit and I need to cash out those money to an Bank who have IBAN and who can give me virtual pay card so I can spend and use my money.

Please give me all tips and tricks. Thanks!
