Since getting a Thai bank account on a DTV seems to be an issue, what are Americans doing? Favorite fee-free credit or debit card? Other workarounds? Please share what's working for you. Are you handing over 15-30k for rent in cash every month?

Want to prepare my bank statements to be accepted with a broad range of Thai embassies/consulates (Argentina, Singapure, and whatever you recommend!) and not lose a bunch of interest. Having 15K sit for 6 months could earn me almost 240 USD.

What do you recommend?

I heard Wise is not accepted by some consulates because they are not a bank and Trade Republic statements are in German.

Please vote and comment: Have any of you used foreign language statements without a costly translation?

Quick question guys , which ATMs are cheapest to withdraw and max you can withdraw ? Also are exchange kiosks cheaper . Thanks once again .

Hello everyone

It's possible to open Thai bank account with DTV visa in koh samui?

Is it necessary to pay around 7000 baht to open a bank account in all banks in Thailand or does only Bangkok bank charge this fee?

Regarding the 65k xfer to thai account every month for next year extension of a non-O visa - can the deposit be any time each calendar month (e.g., Oct 5, Nov 23)?

Also, can it be multiple deposits in the month that add up to more than 65k, rather than a single xfer each month?

Thanks

This is a bit of everything else.

Hi what would be best to? To have a wage paid directly into my Thai bank account in Canadian Dollars or have it paid into my UK account then transfer it to my Thai account. T.I.A.

Thai bank account statement can be used for the DTV application? The money comes from outside of Thailand via wire transfers.

Hello guys, i have Bangkok bank account for a while, but never used it before. Now i went to fix my online banking, and visited two separate branches to do so. Both of them told me different prices as a comission for money sending. First branch told me 100 baht the second one told me 1150 baht. Can you tell me how much of a fees you pay sending money with revolut and is there any specific way to avoid the SWIFT transfer?!?!

Has anyone done research on which banks have the best long term deposit interest rates?
