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?

Hi everyone, has anyone recently secured the DTV as a remote worker while in Vietnam? I’m from the U.S. but live in Bangkok and will leave for Vietnam next week to pursue the DTV. I have my offer letter stating that I’m a remote IT worker, my boss also wrote a letter to double down on that as well, I have $18k in savings that I’ve saved up the last 4 months or so. I also signed a lease on an apartment here in bangkok I plan to stay in Vietnam at least 2 weeks. Do you think it’s enough? I don’t have 6 months of statements amounting to $18k each month.

Hello, really sorry if this is an obvious question or stupid. I have done lots of research but not clear. I plan to come to Thailand on DTV to have surgery in Bangkok (will have proof). I need a specialist & waiting times in UK Via NHS is 18+ months, private costs are extortionate, whereas Bangkok, specialist consultant can see me within months and £10k rather than £20k+ in UK! Am I right that if my husband moves with me we EACH need £11k GBP in our bank accounts to meet DTV requirements and EACH need to apply for a DTV? Any advice / answers would be greatly appreciated 🙏

Did this group change its name? Does "and more" equate to the old "and everything else"?

Hope this can fit under "everything else". Seeking advice for selling via installments. I have posted my motorbike for selling on the marketplace, and today somebody approached me and asked if I accepted payment via installments. 4000 baht upfront, and the rest via weekly payments. Would you recommend this or he can just take the bike and disappear? Thanks!
