For this DTV holders like me who failed to open a bank account. Have you tried or heard about Tag Thai? Seems like you can pay with QR code thanks to this app. Any feedback from anyone? I want to go tomorrow to subscribe. I dream of not having to go around with cash all the time.

Thanks 🙏

How do I open a joint bank account with my Thai partner and I only have retirement O (obviously I have a singular account) ???

Hello, after researching and visiting 2 different bank's, I'm confused. I want to apply for a non O retirement visa but need a bank account to put my 800k into. However, bank won't let me open one without a non o visa with at least 60 days valid. What am I missing, please?🙏

Are there specific requirements for the 65,000 transfer into my account each month for the next 12 months? I probably will use Wise from my USA account. Do I remember reading something about how it has to be labeled?

Is it better to keep funds in a Thai bank or something like Wise for the DTV application? Specifically looking to apply in Manila or Jakarta

When using monthly deposits, must the money be sent directly to the Thai bank from the source (example: Social Security or rental income) to prove that it's income, or could I simply send monthly amounts from my US bank account?

US citizen. Hoping to go on an OA visa in December.

A few questions (again) after using search here and some google/web.

1. Any opinions on State Department Federal Credit Union and the ACA group that is the path to getting accounts there? Supposedly they are good with foreign addresses, and also web/ip platforms for MFA. Issue is I don't see a lot of current reviews, or mentions in the expat groups.

2. Maintaining US credit cards as an expat. Not expecting a tutorial here but any links to good info or first hand success in keeping them open?

3. Why don't we see any info on Gentleman Girls, only Lady Boys? (OK disregard this one).

Any help appreciated.

I applied for DTV 3 days ago, they requested extra documents this morning. I uploaded the new documents but they requested new ones. I have a question about one of the items.

The one you provided is not a pay slip. Please provide pay slips for the past six months that show detail the amount of tax deducted from your salary, as well as any overtime, bonuses, or other deductions.

I'm working for an American company, and I get my salary in my bank account directly and pay my taxes in my country. Taxes are not deducted from my monthly income, as I am technically exporting services. They are calculated at the end of the year based on that year's income. So I don't have a slip like that, what should I send them for this item? I already shared my contract with the company, the company's business registration, and monthly transactions from the company to my personal bank account.

I've just transferred £1000 from UK to Kasikorn, the UK charged just £5 and i sent in pound sterling, because UK always charge more when they exchange it. However Kasikorn has just creamed 3%, no biggy for £1000, but this was a trial to see speed and charges, it will kill me sending 5 or 10 million baht. So my question is, from experience, do any of you know whether different banks charge different amounts, if so which is best, and finally does the amount % get less the more you send?

Is there still complications regarding bank account opening in Thailand following approval of DTV Visa?
