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?

For those in Phuket with a DTV looking to open a bank account, I successfully opened one at TTB, Robinson Lifestyle Thalang in just two days.

Documents I provided:

1. Passport

2. DTV

3. Driving license (from my home country) with the exact same name as in my passport

4. Cover letter from my Muay Thai gym (the same one used for my DTV application)

5. Lease agreement for my accommodation (signed by both my landlord and me)

6. A signed copy of my landlord’s ID

7. Certificate of residence from the immigration office (I got mine from Blue Tree)

Be prepared for them to keep some or all original copies of the documents. I specifically requested my original Certificate of Residence back since it may be needed for other purposes.

The process took two days. The bank wasn’t busy, but the account opening counter was slow. Their system didn’t allow DTV holders to open an account, so they had to send my application to the Bangkok main office for approval. The next morning, I got a call from the bank, went back to sign a few more forms, and walked out with my passbook, debit card, and mobile banking set up—now I can use PromptPay.

P.S. I visited every bank in Central, and all of them said no.

Hey all! Just got a request for extra docs re: portfolio as I'm a video editor and the embassy staff said they were unable to access the links I provided (checked before I submitted, they were fine my end!) Have any other video editors experienced this? I think I'll send back a portfolio with a pdf slideshow of some screenshots from relevant videos instead with descriptions of the work I did, but if anyone else has any suggestions I am open!

Approved!

Online from Australia.

After 3 weeks of back and forth with more documents I finally was approved today.

Uploaded the following:

-Bank statement

- letter from my company to myself stating rights to work remote

- 2 client invoices

- page detailing work done in one given month for clients

See you in Jan

Anyone else use a screenshot of bank account when applying? Washington Thai embassy. Workcation. Business owner.

Things I included in the application :

-Texas ID for proof of location

-Articles of formation and EIN letter from IRS

-Screenshot of my website

-Screenshot of my Shopify sales report for 12 months

-Letter stating that I am the sole owner of my business with hundred percent ownership, statement that I don’t have any clients in Thailand and only have customers in North America Europe

-Screenshot of bank balance with $24,000.

My account is a business account with my business name on it, but I can get a letter from the bank stating I am sole owner of account.

Last year I successfully applied for a UK holiday visa for my TGF. This year I want to apply for a Schengen visa to visit Spain. I have 48 pages of docs submitted for last year's visa so I don't need an agent. What I want is help in securing an appointment to deliver the application and support docs from someone who has navigated the system. Cheers.

Hi, everyone! I almost hesitate to write since I applied this morning only. (Hoping for a successful result on Wednesday afternoon. 🤞🏻) However, I thought I'd still try to help others.

In case you haven't seen this info in other posts, in addition to the documents stipulated in the infographic, do take the following:

1. A copy of your passport, even though they'll be keeping the original

2. A copy of your Lao visa on arrival (or other Lao visa), even though it's in your passport they'll be keeping

Finances:

Even though (or maybe because) I maintained more than double the required amount in a Thai bank account for the last six months, the officer didn't pay much attention to my bank statements.

Employment:

Instead, there was a lot of focus on my employment confirmation letter. Even though our HR (I work remotely, full-time) prepared it with great care, it didn't seem sufficient. The officer was looking for "company licensing documents" and/or a full employment contract. Definitely err on the side of providing too much information!

Other tips:

Although not necessary, you can save yourself some time at the Embassy by printing and completing the visa application form beforehand, and gluing your two pics in the spaces provided.

(Although this might not be the case for everyone, they didn't ask any questions about where I'm staying in Thailand (or Laos).)

Good luck! 🤞🏻

What document can i use to indicate current location if I am in my home country?

Im British applying in UK .

Thanks

Hi everyone. I am doing my Retirement Visa renewal myself for the first time. What all documentation will I need when I go to Immigration? AND please save all the ignorant wisecracks.

Came to Jakarta the day prior to submitting - 10/10.

Had 6 months of financials - they actually gave me back 4 months said only needed 2, but more is always better in this case imo.

Soft power documents- in my case Muay Thai

Documentation of flights in and out of Indonesia and accommodation

5.6m idr

And copy of passport with all stamps and bio page

Application filled out, signed and photos stapled already

I arrived at 645, the first person arrived at 3am straight from the airport. I was in and out before 10am my time at the window was literal minutes I had everything ready to go; was told to come back Thursday 10/14 and given a slip.

Retrieved it today and I did not see ANY rejections out of the 30ish people I talked too, so all applied for various reasons from soft power to medical to digital nomad.

Hope this is helpful they will close in person the 21st so if are considering I would book a flight asap

Cheers.
